The design of the rear has nothing to do with the JS series. Prototype or imaginary?

Here a line drawing that shows the rear machine gun.

Not JS/KV related. Not build, but a real project.

Hmm, I guess the first question I should be asking is... Is this a Russian project, or have we been barking up the wrong nationali-tree?

 

[ironduke57]

Good question. And no, it is not russian.

I'm going to guess that it's got a german line to it, because the rear LMG appears to be very MG-42-ish in looks.

Is it Swedish?

NS

 

[ironduke57]

Swedish ?-> No.
german ? -> Yes.

It has 5 road wheels, like the Kanone, is it a turreted version of the Kanone?

I know I got a no for the Europa Panzer, but there are many similarities:

Not least the 5 roadwheels and the cast turret, although your challenge does not have the rear bustle nor the rear firing MG.

There are clear similarities to both the later AMX-30 and the Standard Panzer (Leopard).

Right now I'd guess on a German project right after ww2 that just predates the joint Eropanzer project. There are so many similarities.
