The upper picture is actually an early iteration of Al-Zarrar, a Pakistani-upgraded Type 59, which in turn is Chinese copy of T-54.

Not your granddad's T-55:  Peruvian/Ukrainian Tifon 2A proposal:






This update adds in a new engine (1050hp multi-fuel supercharged diesel engine instead of 581 hp Diesel) giving it a top speed of 75 km/h.  The main armament is now the 125 mm KBM-1M 48 caliber smoothbore gun instead of the 100 mm D-10T2G or D-10T2 rifled tank gun.  The new gun is capable of firing both conventional ammunition and barrel-launched Kombat ATGMs. Also upgraded were the Fire Control System and sensor suite plus air conditioned system.  It also incorporated Deflek Ceramic special alloy steel armor, and Nosh explosive reactive armor.
