Lowered Mangal design is actually not so bad compared to usual Cope cage.

An oddity. SEPv3 hull, weird turret. Unsure if it's a mockup, photoshop, or whatever have you.

A bit more on the matter was posted on TankNet by Wiedzmin. There was a proposed upgrade for the turret armor to meet the increased protection requirement ("stretch potential"). Also more detailed CR1 protection estimates:
The "lower glacis" is the part of the hull covered by the special armor, the lowest section (only RHA) is described as "toe" armor. The add-on armor for the CR1 fielded during Gulf War increased the hull front to 350/700 mm vs KE/CE (i.e. section where ROMOR-A ERA overlap).
The side armor with Chobham armor modules was only protected against the most basic RPG-7 munitions. No wonder it was replaced on CR2 after a few months in Iraq with ERA.
Challenger 2 apparently had barely improved hull armor and somewhat improved turret armor - that is, if the upgrade was implemented and funded. Even with the upgrade, the increased requirement (600 mm vs KE) was not met.
