Relatively speaking, the tiger tank body number of the Wehrmacht heavy armor battalion is easier to identify. For example, the No. 822 car is the No. 2 car of a battalion with 8 companies and 2 rows. Generally, the heavy armored battalion has 2-4 tiger companies, each with 9 tigers, one company, and four platoons with two each. Even if there is an expansion in the later period, the number of tigers rarely exceeds 3 per row. Therefore, the number of tiger's body numbers rarely has a mantissa of 3. For example, if the tank No. 115 was before 1944, it should belong to the third Type 3 tank of the Tiger Platoon.

The body numbers of the SS tanks start with S, such as s02, and have three-digit numbers. The specific rules are not clear.
