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.

Model is British A3 version based off Dutch variant.

A proposed ERA-equipped K1A1.
 
As you can see by the text this proposal was for the Thai Main Battle Tank program where Hyundai Rotem proposed a "K1A1-TH" where one of the possible upgrades made would have been equipping the K1A1 with ERA to enhance it's armor protection.
 

Germany wants to order 18 Leopard 2A8 tanks with the options for more ("a middle three-digit number").
