MCG's got it.  Next.

Another one that should be quick & easy.

 

[Command-Sense-Act 105]

It's an M60-2000 (also called GDLS 120S).  More info here.

I was ready to take either of two answers (M6-2000 or MBT 120S) and you got both.  The 120S is a unique product that integrates the M1A1 120-mm turret onto a fully modernized M60 chassis.  Apparently, so much is new that GDLS likes to avoid the M-60 designation.

Autoblinda 41, Italy

 

[Richie]

You got it! The Polish/Italian AB-41 Armored Car. Used for training by the Carpathian Lancers in Egypt from June 1942.

You guys are too fast, I'm gonna have to dig deeper next time  ;D

still keeping it easy with this one:

 

[Richie]

Got me, they don't even look like the same tanks. Looks like a different chassis and different turret (e.g. location of grenade launchers, general shape of turret).  ???

 

[CougarKing]

still keeping it easy with this one:

M48s? M41 Walker Bulldogs? M47s? M60s?

 

[McG]

Your shotgun approach has missed.

 

[CougarKing]

JGSDF Type 74?

And no folks, I don't own a copy of Jane's Tanks and Armoured Vehicles as someone else suggested in chat once.  :

 

[McG]

no

MBT-70...

 

[rmc_wannabe]

I'm going to go with Leopard 1 and 1A, if my brief AFV Rec class taught me anything  ;D

 

[Old and Tired]

MBT-70, US team, Prototype 3 & 4

 

[McG]

MBT-70...

That's it.  MBT-70/KPz-70 was a joint US & Germany venture, from '67 to '72, to develop the next main battle tank.  It boasted a 152 mm gun/launcher, all crew in the turret & adjustable suspension hight. 

& yes, one of them is specifically XM-803.  Cannot confirm the other though.

I can dig out my HUGE M1 and devleopment book and find out.. if you'd like.. that's the scary part on that one.. I knew it without having to search.
