In the one small book I have of Ju-87s, it states that the D-3 was the first version to not have the 'siren' incorporated due to a weight increase by added armor. In the book is a color plate of a D-3/Trop, S7+AA, of Geschwaderstab StG 3, based at Haggag-el-Quasaba, Egypt, late 1942.

Book is Junkers Ju87 STUKA by Martin Derry and Neil Robinson.
