Tiger I Camo Question, 2nd SS

Do any of you Tiger "rivit-counters"
know if the tank in the puicture is an accurate representation of a Tiger I from the 2nd SS?
I have been checking out the old historic photos and remain confused (as usual
) . I know a bit about Tigers and their history, but just enough to know that I don't know enough
I see some with the Imp insignia on the turret, some without.
Some have the turret designation starting with the letter S, others with a number for the company.
And, I can't tell if any had the three color camo.

Thought that might happen. I'm a member on hobby havoc STE site so have access to the images. You should register as loads of info on marking and Camo schemes etc.

Hopefully those links will work for you now.
Or if you look in the camo and markings (German) tactical insignias and top post. It explains it all.
