Also, here's an official CG of the M1A2 SEPv4, from one of GDLS' recruitment ads.
 

 
Some on Twitter have noted that the LFP seems to stick out by a tiny little bit, but I'm not sure it indicates increased plate thickness. It could simply be a flaw in the 3D model.

Hello there! I'm making the model of Leo 2A8 for 3D printing and i have a little question: Did anybody knows these tilt angles from first screen?

Simon Tan passed away in May.

I have a few questions about the French FL-11 turret mostly used on the Panhard EBR ad on a few AMX-13 hulls.
How was the turret controlled/driven? By the rotation speed on this video(https://youtu.be/F4aXdDNLgUY) I suspect that at least the horizontal drive was electrically driven.
Did the gunner and TC have a duplicate set of controls?
What were the sights used by the gunner?
Any photos of the interior would be greatly appreciated. I only found some pictures from the PrimePortal, but they do not show much.

Given that it was a vehicle from the 50's I sincerely doubt that it was electrically driven. An electrical drive will be smoother and have more torque than an hydraulic one, but it won't be inherently faster.
 
The FL-10 turret (long 75 mm) was hydraulic so I see no reason for the similar FL-11 to be any different.
 
 
On that topic I won't be categorical, but I very strongly doubt it. The hunter-killer concept came much later around the 80s to 90s (Leopard 2, M1A2, AMX-40) and even later for Soviet/Russian designs. Keep in mind that the original concept behind the EBR dates back to 1938-1939 (The prototype wasn't using the FL-11 turret, but it already was an oscillating one) and was updated and put in production in 1951.

FCS on tanks weren't even a thing back then (only on ships and some AA guns).
 
 
APX-L 852 x5,8 direct vision scope + 2 periscopes for situational awareness
2 Iron-sights (one for the commander and one for the gunner) for rough pointing of the gun
8 periscopes for the tank commander

As for photos of the interior, there are some of the 90 mm conversion of the FL-11 here, but the turret is in a very bad shape :

XM964 APFSDS-T 

Height Comparison between the XM964 (Only forward part) and a M829A1, the XM964 seems to be a bit longer than 40 inches if they're draw to scale.
