With all due respect, I believe that this is another tank altogether, rather than 131. If all three photos (Bild 101I-299-1804-04, Bild 101I-299-1804-05, Bild 101I-299-1804-06) are compared, one can see that the camouflage pattern around the balkenkreuz on each tank's side is slightly different. 131 has a large light area surrounding its cross, while the tank in this photo has dark color right around it. Tank 133 is somewhat in-between with a small area of light color around its cross. Although there's no way to know for certain, perhaps this photo is tank 132...

I have done a little more research into these photos (Bild 101I-299-1804-04, Bild 101I-299-1804-05 and Bild 101I-299-1804-06), as I want to make a small diorama based upon the column of Tigers rolling through town.
This photo was taken in Morgny… please see my comments for the photos of Tiger 131 (Bild 101I-299-1804-04) and of Tiger 133 (Bild 101I-299-1804-06) for details. I will add here that it was very enjoyable to find out the specific location of these photographs taken so long ago, and to know that many of the buildings therein still exist!
