Guten Tag Herr Professor, I had a little time available so I checked the instructions for my Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog (1973 version) and it looks like they corrected the assembly error in the instructions.
I also have the (1969 version) Motorized Remote Control M41 Walker Bulldog Tank but I do not have the instructions or box for that one.

Well that's interesting. Here's my guess: the error in the instructions has happened much more recently. About six or seven years ago, one of the Tuesday "Make Modeling Mediocre Again" friends built a recent re-release of the Tamiya Walker Bulldog. As he was building M41, the modeler, a former Marine, a likeable and good natured man, let out a %#@^*()^%$#@%^& that made us all stop to ask what happened. He cemented that bulkhead in the previous week and then discovered the error as he was trying to test fit the upper hull to the lower hull. I started my own kit a few weeks later and, forewarned, turned the bulkhead around for no problem.
