Actually not between houses but on the road side. You have already posted the pic of the tank. It is not the same vehicle seen in your quotation above.

Char 1 bis up side down car

View attachment 756864


The Beaumont town, Belgium 1940. The destroyed tank is the Char 1 bis no.401 of the 37th BCC named Bearn II. It is interesting because there were three tanks initially. And it seems that the car had been parked across the street before it was moved to the other side and later was overturned. Finally all the mess was cleaned up and the "Bearn II" was left only.

Possible but the driver's visor (observation device) looks more like the Fahrersehklappe 30 that was used for the Ausf. G rather. No the rainguard over the driver's vision. Also it seems tha there was the ventilation fan in front of the commander's cupola.

I found photos of E/F with "Pivoting Armored Cover" in the book "Panzer III & Its Variants (German Armor Series Vol. III)" by W.Spielberger, page 30, bottom. Moreover, Ausf.F was quite common in the Eastern front.
 
I agree. It looks like the F and G models were produced simultaneously. For the reason the tank parts could be used for both variants. And the early models could be retro-fitted with these parts too. Regarding the pic above ... for sure, not the Ausf. A.
