Shells between theese guns were near identical allowing for easier manufacturing with only difrence being the larger driving band. Of note should be that the pak 42 is also a tank gun rather than a towed gun as the name would designate it wich may or may not have been manufactured.
Media
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
