There is a general difference in HP due to basic philosophies between 3e and 4e. The slotution would be to assign 4e HP based on mass whihc is probab;ly pretty easily determined.
The hard part about conversion is that the WWII books are the only Gurps books I know post High Tech 1e where 25m of RHA does not equal DR70. The WWII figures are higher but not by a simple proportion.
I have heard that this was done deliberately because the tank guns were overpenetrating the armor. I'd have nerfed the guns myself.
A multi-step conversion process where you convert the G:WWII DRs to mm of RHA and then convert that to standard Gurps might be possible but it would be a lot of work and then the guns might be wrong.
It might be simpler to find a non-game sourcebook that listed armor thicknesses in mm of RHA and then derive Gurps DRs from that.
