T-34 Crew Hatch Covers. I was under the impression that the one-piece was found on early production followed by Mickey Mouse style.
What's the story, Maestro? Different factories.??

To be honest I haven't heard of a such story. Also IMHO , it is not the matter of the different factory. Most possible is that the new introduced turret was the reason. It became larger and the one-piece hatch could affect the stability of the entire construction. Another factor that could cause the changing could be the gun and its mounting. Additionally , the casting way the turrets were made with , made the entire process easier and quicker. It can be said that the turret was two-piece part only.
