If you Google elefant tank exhaust, you will find a useful to rcuniverse, where there is a thread dealing with exactly that question.

The US Army Ordnance museum has a restored Elefant. You could try asking them. Alternatively, had you thought of contacting the Bovington Tank Museum? They must have a lot of information not on show.

:thumbup: Exhausts were above the tracks roughly just in front of the armored casement, blowing straight down on the tracks from the sponsons, ergo they can not be seen from the side.
