The damage to the nose was probably from the crash landing.

It was like that too. There was a case where German soldiers encountered exactly the same kind of tank, in which a wounded tanker with broken legs was sitting and firing every last round of ammunition. When he ran out of ammunition, he fired back with a pistol.
