Hello, This is the German Gepard, or the Dutch Prtl depending on it's radar manufacturer. It's a anti aircraft gun
and since the search radar (on the back of the turret) is modified, and there is no chase radar ( In the front of the turret between the guns (oerlikon 35mm fast firing)
I can't determine which one it is.
The turret sits on a Leopard 1 modiefied chassis

Yep Chieftain with a Marksman Turret, the Finns and Poles used them on T-55 Hulls

Probably best to modify the below as Chieftain Marksman
