Another source has slightly different figures :

Assault gun : Stug III and IV
Tank destroyers : Ferdinand,Nashorn,Hornisse , Jagdpanzer IV,V,38
Self propelled artillery: Wespe,Hummel,Grille,Sturmhaubitze.
Self propelled artillery: Wespe,Hummel,Grille,Sturmhaubitze.
Some comments:
In '41 and '42 losses are low ,despite having to fight against tanks with superior paper characteristics like the T-34.
In '43 and '44 losses go way up but with a twist.Tank losses rise in '44 but Stug and Tank destroyer/artillery losses explode.
In all cases production can cover the losses.The only exception is tank losses in '43,although it could be that tanks destroyed or heavily damaged in late '42 are written off in the '43 tables(Stalingrad disaster).
