You know I read a similar "First contact with King Tiger" account.

Like this one it was put up as official (with various offiers chiming in at various points) and some official routing 'stamps'.

In that case it was a T34-85 that did the job. It even had a comment from the gunner something like, "enemy tanks advancing... looks like Tigers, but they are different." Commander responded "More killing, less asking for pedigree."

Given that we have two essentially clones of the same engagement with different forces, and both have a very official look about them I suddenly suddenly get a feeling of having been dragged around by the nose.

Given how I discovered that the battle of Prokhorovka was not only inflated hugely and was nowhere near a deathride of the Panzers (http://www.uni.edu/~licari/citadel.htm), I'm leaning towards a "no way!" stance on this.
