On this website it shows the armour of the Semovente as "42mm" maximum.
Ralph Riccio's book Italian Tanks & Fighting Vehicles of WW2 states the armour as the same as M15/42, ie 45mm turret front, 42mm hull front, 25mm hull side and rear.
The Encyclopedia of German Tanks of WW2 by Chamberlain and Doyle states the armour to be:
turret front: 25mm+25mm/85* turret side: 25mm/81*, rear 25mm/90* (turret to mean in this case the upper superstructure)
hull front: 30mm/round; hull side: 25mm/90*, hull rear 25mm/70*
* = angle from horizontal
Is the latter correct?
