1/35 Dragon Sd.Kfz.10/5 questions/observations

I was looking over my new Dragon Sd.Kfz.10/5 and comparing it to the old Italeri release. I noticed a few things, like neither company got the dashboard correct. And they both have a different treatment of the underside. Neither looks correct. Dragon has reinforcing ribs molded on, but I can't see any on the undersides of the gray one on Prime Portal: http://www.primeportal.net/transports/alan_ranger/demag-d7_sd.kfz.10/index.php?Page=1, nor on the one pictured in Militaria 172 on page 48. Are these from a different variant? Or did Dragon just guess? Italeri's isn't right, either, with the full-length skids running under the rear tub. Dragon seems to have that detail correct, with them running down the outer sides of the bottom. None of my references are perfectly clear on the underside detail, and I can't find a picture of one on a rotisserie for restoration. Does anyone have any information on this?
