It really looks like the generic 1st world MBT Anyway, here's mine.  I think it also has never seen production, and has a bit of an interesting history to it.

Argh, I can't believed I passed over that a few days ago!  Pictures have been hard to come by, google image search keeps giving me an Osorio, and the picture in The Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armoured Fighting Vehicles (2002, Editor: Christopher Foss) doesn't seem to match the hull shape...

Well, there is the Vickers Mk. 7 Valiant; Vickers turret on Leo 2 hull.  I thought it didn't look like the pic I had at first, but...

Is it the OF-40/120 Mk 2A? I wanted to say OF-40, but that entered service with Dubai, and doesn't have the reference thingy (sorry, dont' know the term) on the muzzle.

Got this off the CBC just now... http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2006/10/20/china-korea.html

Just because it's based on the T-72 or M-48 doesn't mean it has to necessarily look like them or use the same hull.  A Dane I showed the picture to thought the hull looked like that of the Leo 2. This picture is why I think it might be a Zulfiqar - which has gone through 3 models, supposedly...

Is it a Zulfiqar 1 or 2?  (going off the hints)

From the Economist - The aid that NK is getting from its northern neighbour might not be as big as you would expect.  The WFP is the UN's World Food Programme, responsible for food aid. http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=8058416

I think there needs to be a master list of what Vehicles have been covered.  I just noticed that the Type 89 Tank Destroyer I posted had been previously used on page 17 or 18

fissionable material is either U-235 or plutonium. I wonder if they went for a gun-type or an implosion mechanism - it looks like the gun-type would be simpler to pull off.

Yeah, SinoDefence gives it as a project to develop a 120mm smoothbore after plans to license from the Germans fell through.  In the end though, they settled on the 125mm, leaving these tank destroyers the odd-one out. Is it just me, or does the rear-set turret make it look like a midget SPG?

Dang it!  ;D Taking the time to find a picture without the red star on it, and then forgetting to rename it.  Forgot about the letters, doh. The idea of Tank Destroyers is interesting - would it be comparable to the 120mm CV90?  Why not call it a light tank? Anyway, your turn Zipperhead!

Someone already guessed Magach, but the original poster said 'closely related but not it'

Those British gun mounts look like eggs  ;D Painting it white doesn't help either.

Looks like a brit ship from the gun mount. That pic is tiny!  :-[

A Sabra?

Actually, DirtyDog cut in line, as Spinnaker guessed the INSAS, but didn't follow up with a pic of his own. Fast moving thread, this.

That's the one! Your turn!

Nope

Slightly more exotic...
