I think the likelihood is that they are sand bags, they all have one thing in common they all served in the desert.
T34 track links on Stug and Panzer IV is not an uncommon sight there are pictures of a Panzer IV in Panzer wrecks 7 I have also seen Panzer IV track links on Tigers though not often

I used T34 track on my PzIII after seeing that PzIV pic.
Here's an example of an early tiger in Africa with PzIII/IV track mounted centrally on the frontal armour.

Thanks for the comments lads. That's the PzIII that was nominated for our
masterclass section after I'd sold it to someone who saw it on RCU.
I used it for practising winter cammo techniques.
I've bought another one since then but I'm still deciding what to do with it.
These are the cammo patterns I'm trying to decide between.
Cheers
John

I like both camo schemes, but i prefer the top one, something a little different.
Maybe add some sharks teeth and a dover blade for good measure
