Exactly!
It wasn't till Speer came in and saw the state of German Armour Development before someone with sense took a look at things and said "Whoa: Is there a reason we have 12 different hatch designs? Is there a reason we have 7 different 75mm chamberings? Why not just have one of each?" before things started getting better (The Panther G was built with commonality with the Tiger 2 in mind - not much, but some). The PaperPanzer E series was a perfect example of where Wa Pruef 6 wanted to go: everything exactly the same as much as possible.
