Rheinmetall's design mounted the next weapon on the 75 mm KwK L/24, while the Krupp design had it mounted beside the 75 mm KwK L/24. Both designs had another turret installed towards front side plus the back concerning the main turret. These turrets had been significantly adjusted Panzer I turrets, with all the standard machinegun armament.
