Are we positive the round can be fired from all the listed guns?
Documentation is certain the round can be fired from the PaK 40, but the similar 7,5cm KwK 40 is chambered differently (75x714 vs 75x495) to operate better in tank turrets.
I’m not a total ammo nut, but the drawings are of the projectile only correct? So this could just be plonked onto any 75mm casing?
+1, more options for Germany
Well yes, and while the first limited production was for Pak 40 (718mm casing) the ammo was also then to go into production for KwK/StuK 40 (495mm) and KwK/Pak 42 (640mm) ammo.

There’s a US report listing the penetration at 90 degrees as 200 mm. I don’t have the rest of the report on-hand atm, but I’m pretty sure it was digitalized by Harold Biondo on his patreon.
I’m particularly keen on seeing this get added as a means of making certain late war vehicles more distinct from earlier variants, such as the Pz. IV J.
