If it's Turkish, it could be the Yatagan, a T-84 with a NATO 120 mm smooth-bore gun.
 
DING DING DING  ;D ;D ;D ;D
you got it

T-84U — Ukrainian upgrade of the T-84. New armoured side skirts, turret-conformal Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour, auxiliary power unit, thermal imaging sight, satellite navigation, commander's laser range-finder, muzzle reference system, and other improvements.

T-84-120 Yatagan — a prototype version of Oplot tailored for evaluation by the Turkish Army (prototype designation, KERN2-120). Mounts a 120mm main gun which fires both NATO 120mm rounds (like the M829 DU series) and a special 120mm version of the AT-11 Sniper ATGM. It also has automated gear shifting in place of mechanical gear selector, driver's T-bar control replacing tiller bars, air conditioning, and projectile muzzle velocity sensor, as well as differences in the fire control system, communications, etc.

....nothing like air conditioning
 
Well, I have no chance against the armoured-vehicle-identifying skills that are regularly displayed here, so.... I'm going to go for the asymmetrical approach...

Make, Model, and Year, if you please. Keep in mind it was marketed under different names in different regions.

It's obviously a Toyota.  ;) . It's from the "Toyota War" between Libya and Chad in 1987. Original (and larger) photo here:

My guess is a Toyota HiLux of early 80's vintage.
 
So far as I can tell, it's a '79-'83 Toyota HiLux, so Eminence Grise, the floor is yours...
