It then shows it has having 88mm SP guns in the spring of 1943. However, T-313, Roll 355 clearly says it is equipped with 76.2mm SP guns. It is probable that this unit underwent an almost constant transition of equipment and at this time had Marder III Sd Kfz 139, which was a 76.2mm Russian gun on a Czech 38(t) tank chassis.
