Citizens. Does anyone know if the Mk Vs sent to Russia were all Composites? Anyone know how many in total?

I don't know how many in total. I believe that they were all Composites. The survivor in Archangelsk is a Female, but I can't tell whether this was ever a Composite (it has a Female hull). One of the tanks on display in Smolensk up to 1942 (later destroyed in Berlin) was also a Female, though I have no idea if it had a Male or Female hull as I don't know its serial number and nor do I have photos showing its ammunition stowage. So, my belief that all were Composites when sent to Russia implies that one was later converted back to its original Female form, and another to at least external Female configuration.
