I had not heard that 4kp/506 had the unusual Tiger Is. Can you point me to references about that? It'd be cool to come up with a pic too. I just perused Tigers In Combat I and there aren't any Tiger I in Ardennes pics in that book.

As the 4th company was actually, as i said, schwere panzer kompanie Hummel that is where you will find the pics ... or rather the picture, which is in Tigers in combat vol 2 page 89 and 90 of the hard back edition.
Here is the pictures.
At first we have a tank covered in snow, knocked out in January 1945.
Then we have the same tank a few months later after the snow has melted, revealing the turret number 411 and the early turret and late style steel rimmed roadwheels.
It is the only picture i know of, showing the Tiger I's of s.Pz.Kp Hummel/s.Pz.Abt 506 in the Ardennes.
