Is this the same Tiger 142 that the Dragon Armor 1/35 Afrika Korps Tiger is modelled after?

Hi,
Could be, but here's more definitive information from this site:

http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/tigers.htm

The tank is pictured at the bottom of the page and was from sPzAbt. 501, then deployed to Tunisia in 1943.

Yes, This second pic is the 1/35 Tiger represented by Dragon.. If you have The Jean Restayn book "Tiger I on the Western Front", it has some great pics of Tiger 142 on pages 14 thru 21..
