Yeah, I realized that after my original post hence the edit I added. I don't think had enough coffee before I spoke.

Why the very close guns have absolutely different peteration values?
Aside from the slight difference in velocity, it's the difference in ammo. The standard AP for the 37mm PAK was uncapped shell. The standard for the 37mm M6 at time was capped shot, so it was harder and more rigid (no cavity for explosive filler, like in shell) and would have had better penetrative power.
I don't know that the difference was as great as "76 vs. 47"...but then, I don't know how the game's using those numbers to calculate penetration. I'll just trust the game designers on that one.
