About this detail of the Tiger

The Tiger B had a HL 230 engine similar to the Tiger E, but the arrangement of the cooling air flow was different.

Tiger B exhaust shrouds

The exhaust shrouds on this vehicle apparently did not lead to a duct. They were extended to the hull rear wall, or close to it, as drawn above. The main exit point for air was the vent halfway along, as shown in this diagram of the right-hand shroud [2] .

Tiger B exhaust shroud extension

The same exhaust shrouds could be used on Tiger E and Tiger B because the vent could be sealed and the extension was a separate part. This is an extension from the collection at Bovington Museum [1] .

Tiger B exhaust shroud extension

The extension had 4 bolt holes in a flange at the forward end. It could be used on either the right or left exhaust pipe, because only 2 bolts were needed.
