If you keep posting like this ironduke then:

At this rate, you guys will soon be starting with single track links and the arrangement of back deck grills.   

Think they will go with idlers, roadwheels, and drive sprockets next  ;D

won't be necessary.

[CEEBEE501]

I dont get why it dosent show up for any varients or vehicals based on the leo 1 tho? :-\

Minebreaker 2000/2

Yes.  It is German Minebreaker 2000/2 demining vehicle.  Germany has deployed this in Afghanistan.
I suppose having the vehicle named across its side in the picture helps.

Maybe because of this statement?

The Mechanical de-mining is executed by the FFG-Minebreaker 2000/2 system. The vehicle, which is based on a Leopard 1 chassis, (but which can be fitted to most tanks).

You got it.  M56 SPAT.

This may be of interest to some.  It is a monograph (PDF 1.23 MB) from a student on the US Army Infantry Officers Advanced Course 1958-59 titled "IS THERE A NEED FOR THE M56 CHASSIS AS A CARRIER FOR EITHER THE 4.2 INCH MORTAR OR THE 106MM RIFLE IN THE DIVISION BATTLE GROUP".
