That surprises me, Ed, particularly the numbers for the Sherman and the Panther, as visually, the shape of the Sherman looks taller.
Do you have any data for the height of standard turrets for all three by any chance? I am thinking perhaps higher turrets for the two German designs, as part of the need to cope with effective operation of larger guns and the Sherman went with a lower turret height because they could get away with it with the 75 Main Gun.
