Do you know how this tank met it's end? from looking at it closely it seems to have exploded from the inside?

The article in the journal AFTER THE BATTLE #8 (1975) was written: "... the tank, was thrown from his crew due to lack of fuel but first put out of action (a grenade exploded inside the hull and turret )..."
