GUIDE TO ABBREVIATIONS:

Hull
Rochling = Single Plate Hull (Manufacturer Rochling)
Krupp = Multi Plate Hull (Manufacturer Krupp)

Gun mount
F = Female = MG:s are used instead of Gun.
B = Buck Mount. Seen from the outside, it looks like a rectangular semi-cylinder moving from side to side, covering most of the Gun Shield.
S = Sockel mount. Seen from the outside, it looks like a standing semi-cylinder moving up and down, leaving most of the Gun Shield free.
(Note: 501, 502, 505 & 507 were later retrofitted, thus the double designation.

Exhaust
Hole = No exhaust pipe
Down = External exhaust pipe, end pointing down
Up = External exhaust pipe, end pointing up
(Note: if exhaust pipe was external, end was pointing down except on 528 and 529.

Cab Applique
If Cab was fitted with additional applique armour.
(Note: such were fitted to tanks belonging to Abt 2.)

Side Flaps
If side flaps covering sprocket and idler, were one bent piece or two pieces:
1 = One bent piece
2 = Two pieces

GUIDE TO ABBREVIATIONS:

Front Plate
1 = Front Plate made out of one piece
2 = Front Plate made out of two pieces joined
male = Most converted Females with 2 mg flaps; "true males" had one small pistol port instead.

MG Aperture
Type of external fittings:
A = 4 bolts beneath aperture, 2 pairs on each side
B = 6 bolts beneath aperture, 2 pairs each side
C = 6 bolts beneath aperture, 4 in a row on each side. Note: Was only fitted to Rear Right if used.
D = 6 bolts beneath aperture, 3 in a row on each side

MG Shield Type
Type of:
1 = Only a cylinder, with large openings up and down
2 = Cylinder with smaller cut-out and sight-hole on the top
3 = Hole smaller still

Front Flap Hinges
Number of hinges:2 or 3 or whole flap later missing

Door Seat
Was there a seat on the inside of the door?

Tow
h = Vehicle employed hooks for towing
s = Vehicle employed shackles for towing
(Note: They were usually covered by fairings to stop wire from catching.)

Possible Female Variant?
It is possible that some tanks originally planed as Females (542, 504, 561), were issued without main guns, hence female names. 543 had a female name ("Bulle") initially, later male name.

Camo & Markings
The numbers refer to pages and numbered plans in Max Hundleby’s and Rainer Strasheim’s excellent "The German A7V Tank and the Captured British Mk IV Tanks of WW1". Sorry, you simply have to get this book if you are really serious about the A7V…

Fate
Lost = Lost in Combat
Capt = Captured
Scr = Scrapped

NOTE:
Beside the Gelandewagen load carriers – using chassis numbers not allocated for A7V tanks (e.g. 508 - 523) - and Crane versions, the following A7V variations are also excluded from this table:
Chassi no 500: Prototype vehicle with wooden body.
A7V-U: Prototype for total redesign, using chassi no 524, with British type romboid track and side sponsons. The A7V-U was scrapped by the Germans.
"Hedi" – This was an improvised A7V copy with MG-turrets and other variations, used by the Friekorps in 1919, and eventually surrendered and scrapped. It was probably built on a load carrier chassis.
