The damned tank cozy is covering up too many of the recognition features for me to figure out exactly what armored vehicle is under it. The (somewhat obscured) shape of the turret, along with the five road wheels and three return rollers, leads me to believe that this is an armored fighting vehicle produced by a NATO-signatory country (Soviet-built AFVs with five road wheels tended to have Christie suspensions, which lacked return rollers). There's no prominent bore evacuator or muzzle brake, so the main gun's bore is probably 76mm or so.
Does anyone here have any further insight as to what armored fighting vehicle is hidden under this pink shroud?
The closest match I've found so far is the M24 Chaffee light tank. The M24 has five road wheels, three return rollers, and a main gun that has neither a bore evacuator nor a muzzle brake.
That being said, if anyone else has a better guess as to what AFV is depicted, I'm eager to hear your guess....
