Bovington Tiger 131 Zimmerit

Anyone know if the tiger 131 would have had Zimmerit applied? I can't find many verified photos of this tank from ww2, the one clear one i could find (with the George cross on) would imply that it didn't after its capture.

Being aware of dates, we can definitely say no.   Zimmerit began to be applied in December of 1943, while the 504th Heavy Tank battalion (of which Tiger 131 belonged to), arrived in Tunisia during March/April  1943.
