Both are Panzer IV. The first one shows an <i>Ausführung</i> F (<i>lang</i>), the second one shows an F(<i>kurz</i>) or an E (as exhaust muffler indicates) and another F(<i>lang</i>).
Thats two Tank IV one version F1(small 7,5cm Kanone) the other Version F2 (long 7,5 cm Kanone)....with the
the round muzzle breake.....The second picture see to me who Kursk.....
Well, Tommy's most correct; actually writing from memory sometimes ruins your reputation... F2 (or G, redesignated later) has a long (L/43) gun and F (or F1, while F2 was in effect) has a short (L/24) gun.
Once upon a time we called tanks with single buffle muzzule brake "F2" and those with double buffle "G", but this is one of the things Mr. Jentz has us enlightened...
