I think the Panthers in the 60126 comparison picture are very rare in that they are two of the final production batch - They have loops for camouflage on the turret side and a post for the aa mg instead of the ring fitted to the cupola. Also they would probably have had a steel roadwheel on the outer rear station only.

The Dragon 1/35 kit 6268 box art shows all these features.
