It looks as though they may have made the Male sponsons mirror images of each other which isn't quite right as the sighting slits should be on the gun's left in each case.

The Mark V was a more reliable improvement on the Mark IV and was used in the later battles of 1918. Female tanks could unleash a torrent of machinegun fire, while Male tanks would smash the enemy trenches with high-explosive six-pounder fire.

The Mark V Male

The Mark V Male variant carried two six-pounder guns and four 303" Hotchkiss Mk1 machineguns.

The Mark V Female

The Mark V Female variant replaced the two six-pounder guns with two more 303" Hotchkiss Mk one machineguns – a total of six machineguns! There was also a version with one of each sponson type, creating a Mark V hermaphrodite.
