The Porsche turret had a curved mantlet and the commander's cupola was offset to the left. “保时捷”炮塔拥有弧形的护甲，指挥圆形舱位于炮塔偏左侧。
The curved mantlet created a shot trap below the mantlet and, in December 1943, Henschel was ordered to design a new turret to be used as a standard for future models. 在弧形护甲的下部形成了一个射击障碍。1943年12月，亨舍尔公司接到命令要求设计一种新的炮塔以便将来的型号能以其作标准。
Rubber sheeting covered the commander's cupola, the mantlet and the hull machine-gun, but this could be blown away from inside the vehicle by means of an electrical detonator. 橡胶护板覆盖着指挥塔，观察孔及车身机枪孔，但这种设备容易被吹离车内。
Later variants had a rotating periscope for the driver, a new exhaust arrangement, a new mantlet design to eliminate the shot trap and a new engine deck layout with a raised fan cover. 后期的变化是有一个供驾驶员使用的可旋转的潜望镜，一个新的废气管的排列方式。和设计了一个新的火炮护盾去防止射击时候的损伤。
