Sturer Emil and Dicker Max remaining projectiles and charges possible location

Dicker Max:

Expand information to this issue:
In modell the ammo order : 8+8 Chargers in modell and 6+6 Projectiles modelled. The tank able to carry 26 round. During the battle each sides ammo rack(8 charges and 6 projectiles) equal as 13 round.

Spoiler

If the 13 round left the right side ammo rack become empty(image No1)

Spoiler

. When only one round left and loaded into the gun the left side ammo show 8 round charges and 6 round projectiles left. When out of ammo the left side become empty(image no2).

Spoiler

Remaining ammo source:

‘The low ammunition capacity was another serious issue. According to front line photographs, it was solved by carrying additional ammunition in crates.’

It’s a rare vehicle, and there is not much information on it.
I belive this is an acceptable answer and explain why only low ammo round added inside the tank.

From this two possible reasonable explanation answer exist:
-The remaining charges and projectiles are carried support supply vehicles(truck and half tracks).
-The remaining charges and projectiles are carried inside the tank with wooden ammunition boxes.

Idea based on source:
From this it would be better if the spaced place where not stand crew member fill with crates which contain remaining projectiles and charges.

Put the remaining charges(10-> 5+5 up to each other) up to fuel tank with wooden ammo crate and put projectiles between fueltank and back hull.
(14->7+7 next to or up to each other)

Sturer Emil:
While in battle and description it show 15 round of ammo, in X-ray model it have only 13(6+6+1) charge round(2 still missing).‘It’s a rare vehicle, and there is not much information on it.’

Based on archive pictures(

) i not found a solution where they are held in fix location inside the tank. From this the only answer is same like in Dicker Max case.(

) ‘The low ammunition capacity was another serious issue. According to front line photographs, it was solved by carrying additional ammunition in crates’(Image).

From this, the remaining two charges added as carryable ammunition Crates that is the possible reasonable explanation.
