Shaped charge ammunition designed for the L24 75mm gun had excellent penetration but, IIRC, flight instability made difficult acquiring hits at extended ranges beyond 500m. Went through more ammo than acceptable. L43 and L46 barrels began showing up in 1942 on the F series Mk IV and PaK 40 (L46) towed AT gun and SP Marder AT vehicles.
Kato's stuff very in-line with findings by Thomas Jentz.
