Two of the Pz.Sfl. II were sent to NA. One shipped on December 7, 1941 (received on January 5, 1942) and another received at Tripoli on February 23, 1942. Both were destined for the Panzerjäger Abteilung 605 but one is known to have been requisitioned by Rommel himself and added to the Kampfstaffel (as were the second delivered group of so-caled 'Diana'!).

Pz.Sfl. II reported as lost on June 5, 1942 and captured by British. WH 539424
