That is a Schützenpanzer Ulan SPz 3, the Austrian variant of the ASCOD IFV.

ASCOD = Austrian Spanish Cooperation Development
Nice one, I was not aware of it's existence before seeing it's above photo.

Happened on it by accident, but couldn't help but immediately think "Holy Roman Infantry Fighting Vehicle".

Ever seen the amphibious version photos? Looks like someone welded a T 49 turret to a LVT hull and then added a Sherman DD chassis!

I might buy REV x 2, but could ASL handle a REV x 1 AFV?
This thing had 2 drivers front and rear, and both end axles had full turn capability - it could actually turn in 1.5 times its own length, not bad.

Hard to tell if the turret is facing backward or the tank is.

It was designed to drive both ways equally, so why not REV x1.
US T1E1 Light Tank. The T1 version was designated the M1 Light Tank briefly.

EDIT: And Yes, the turret is facing forward. Note the headlights to the left in the photo. It's also has one of the less common features for that time: front engine. A few, mainly light, tanks had a front engine. Some of those placed the driver to one side of the engine compartment (Eg British Light Tank Mk VI) if there was space. Today, amongst main battle tanks only the Merkava is front engined, though it's quite common in the likes of APCs.
