Turret Front 180mm = ( 180mm )from "Panzer Truppen The Complete Guide to the Creation and Combat Employment of Germany's Tank Force 1943-1945, Thomas L. Jentz, 1996 "

There will always be discrepacies like this. When these five quotes are totaled ( 919 ) and averaged ( /5 ) the result is 183.8 and that's 18 in game terms . That's what we have and that's what it stays.
