I am no expert on panzers, but is that a Ausf G chassis with an Ausf A turret?

What let you believe it's an Ausf A turret?

No chin? Like I said, I am no expert by any means on panzers, just going by what I read.

The chin arrived very late, not all ausf G have it

Are there any Panthers in their post-war French markings?

None that I am aware of. Indeed I would love to see even some vintage pictures of them. P-O, can you help?

the ultimate reference is "Chars français", I think :

A Massimo said, the chin was a fairly late modification and even when fielded the old style mantlet continued to be fitted from available stocks.

Looking at the different Sherman hulls, were the crew any safer in a cast hull like the M4A1 or the welded types? Or was it purely to do with ease of manufacture? Somehow, and without any deep knowledge of ballistics, the cast hull looks stronger.
