the Germans were experimenting with compound armour skirts - steel-concrete-wood layers in late '44/mid '45.  A few Panthers were fitted with mounts supposedly to take these but the same mounts were also fitted to other tanks to fit pontoon floatation devices for crossing rivers to Russia.

In late 1940s, the Israeli high command considered starting production of modified Panthers but it was never realized. :(
