The outer image (square
mantlet, no gunner’s periscope etc) is from this earlier design
sketch. The values for the 8” armored hull come from the prototypes
which were tested before the decision was made to complete the
pilots with 12” armor. The decision to leave off the outer tracks
was made partially for visual distinction and partially to make the
vehicle a bit more nimble by reducing the weight for the
power/weight ratio.
