I found this in the photo gallery, and I wonder if it is a phony:

It looks possible if not practical, it could be an ad-hoc conversion.

this tank was made to excercise the crew from panzer IV,
its cheaper in this way than use a panzer IV

The suggestion that this is a training tank makes perfect sense; I see no other practical reason for this conversion.

Perhaps you mean Panzer III. It's a Panzer III turret on a Panzer I chassis.
