It's very likely that this is a tiger of the Das Reich division because it has had it's smoke dischargers removed, a practise that started very early with this division, allegedly due to an incident where they were set off by small arms fire leaving the crew blinded to the enemy.

Famous WW2 Quote
"I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil."General Douglas MacArthur at Leyte, 17 Oct 1944

The commander is exposed in the open, with
field glasses (bionculars) scans the horizon
for targets.
Once a target or targets are found, he orders
what type of ammo is to be used, range and gives the order to fire. The Tiger could hit a target at 1200 meters with the first round
Check out that entrenching tool laying on the hull, in the Civilian world, its called a shovel.
