Have a lot of spare time on my hands so did some new designs.
Top, VK36.02
A cross between the VK36.01 and PzKpf. VI with VK3001 turret and armed with 7.5 cm 0725 Waffe (Konish) cannon.
My thinking here was the VK36.01 is cancelled earlier than OTL when some in the Panzerwaffe decides that interleaved wheels might be more bother than their worth and so segments from other canceled VK projects and the Pz.IV's suspension are thrown together quickly to come up with a new tank to counter the Soviet KV-1 when the Finns share data about the new Soviet heavy tank garnered from the "Winter War".
Not happy the suspension, will hopefully improve later.
Bottom, Pz.III/IV Ausf. C improved Pz.III/IV with schmalturm turret and Panther-ish exhaust system.
My idea of how the Pz.III/IV might have evolved had it gone into production.
Pz.III Ausf. P
Borrowed the turret from Claymore's Sd Kfz 557-2 Adler and stuck it on a Pz. III, was a good fit.
I got no back story for this one.
I also posted some alternate aircraft over on the "Alternate History Combat Aircraft" thread if anyone's interested.
