1. T–40, T–40S and T–30. Source: Russian Military Zone. The T–40 was amphibious, the T–40S and T–30 was not. The T–30 designation was an unofficial designation and was eventually abandoned, all versions being referred to as T–40. The T–40S designation was not used until after the war. [up]

2. T–50. Source: Russian Military Zone and Red Steel. Only 69 were built. Red Steel states that the turret was cast whereas the Russian Military Zone states that the entire vehicle was welded. However only a few vehicles had cast turrets (and were much simplified in other ways) in an effort to reduce costs, shortly before production was cancelled. The lower front hull armour is unusually thick at 45mm, particularly as most references cite a maximum armour of 37mm for the T–50. However at my request Valeriy Potapov from the Russian Military Zone took the trouble to check his own sources (M.Baryatinsky: Armoured fighting vehicles of the USSR 1939–1945, Bronekollektsiya, 1998; M.Pavlov and I.Pavlov: Soviet tanks and SP guns 1939–1945, Arsenal, 1996) and both of these show 45mm armour at this location.

3. T–60 and T–60A. Source: Jentz, Thomas L: Panzer Truppen Vol 1; Russian Military Zone and Red Steel. The original armour comes from Jentz and the Russian Military Zone, the upgraded armour from the Russian Military Zone. The ZiS–60 was the name of the T–60 produced at the Moscow ZiS automobile factory. [up]

4. T–70 and T–70M. Source: Jentz, Thomas L: Panzer Truppen Vol 2. [up]

5. T–80. Source: Red Steel. Only 75 were built. Almost identical to the T–70M but carried a heavier turret and thicker armour up to 50mm. I assume that because it is almost identical that it is welded (as was the T–70M). [up]
