Tiger variants

I assume you mean the Tiger I. There was only really one Tiger I variant, the Sturmtiger. I believe most if not all of the 18 built were converted from late production models. There was the so called Bergetiger, but this was a one off.

There was also the command versions, these would probably have been on Early, Mid and Late.

Visually, the most obvious feature of the mid-production units is that they have the lower cupola but retain the rubber-rimmed cast roadwheels. (I'm sure there are other differences too)

Let me rephrase my question, Would the Tiger I Ausf E be classifed as Early,Mid or Late production variant. 

On a side note did the King tiger have same tracks as the Tiger?

[1] Yes.  (there was no other Ausf. of Tiger)

[2] No.

Let me rephrase my question, Would the Tiger I Ausf E be classifed as Early,Mid or Late production variant.

Not to be a wise acre, but the Tiger I Ausf. E can be classified as all three depending on when it was built. It was the only Ausf made. If you have a question regarding a specific Tiger kit (don't just say the Dragon Tiger since there are multiple versions) or want to find a specific production (early/mit/late), ask the question in that way.

I hope this helps you formulate your question a little better.

Was there a noticible diffrence bettween each production?

The Germans never used the terms erly middle or late for obvious reasons. So don't get to hooked up on it.

 During production of the Tiger I, changers were made often on a monthly bases. An Early production built one month could be different to an Early production built the following month. As a basic guide though, early production has the dust bin lid cupola. Mid production had the lower type cupola with the swivel hatch. And late production has the steel road wheels. Bit its only a rough guide.

Most noticable between early and late is the cupola which went from drum to late-war. The Tiger I late stands alone due to it's all-steel wheels.

And like someone else said, don't get hung up on the labels "early", "mid", or "late".  They were post war (modelers and vehicle researchers) constructs.  For the Germans, they just made TIGERS and added upgrades as needed/wanted.
