1st photo: portion of citation regarding his position.

Looks like: Commander Heavy Tank 71st Independent Guard Heavy Tank Regiment

I believe this is what it says:

During time of offensive ( 14.07.44 to 4.08.44 ) tank has not had to stop due to technical failure and had invariably found himself in front of regiment. Encountering enemy resistance, his accurate fire forced their withdrawal.
In area 2 kilometres from Zhultantse in combat on 20.07.44 his tank knocked out one heavy enemy "Tiger" tank ,exterminated its crew and up to 15 enemy soldiers.

Comments , additions and corrections appreciated
