Hi Gunnar, I may be wrong, but i'm sure the 3 pins on the fighting compartment roof were the mounting points for a semi-circular anti-aircraft MG rail. Having said this I have yet to see a picture, or even a model of the jagdpanther with an AA mount.

Cheers

Hi,

I found out the smaller cover is for fuel, the bigger one is for antifreeze (on a Panther A). I hope the JP is the same.
Both had a hidden screw in the middle to unlock the covers. I found no picture about those pins......
