Saw a recent story that the Italian Army are replacing their Centauro fleet with the improved 120mm model that shares many of the upgrades introduced with the Freccia.  The type was eliminated from the LAND 400 competition but would have made for some very interesting off the self options down the track, had it been successful.

The Italian version you mention is essentially the Centauro II I showed above I believe.

I do plan to do a Australian Army one one of these days.
