What could it be ?

In my opinion it is a very bad scaled model of a Leopard 1 with casted turret, not showing the TEM2A rangefinder flaps. Instead of the rubber track skirts ERA shaped skirts are attached. One row, not separated, no track work possible. For me it seems to be a quick and dirty design study only.

A paper mache leopard 1?

I expressed myself poorly, I was referring to the unknown model of ERA.

I was having a joke  

 

But honestly, wouldn’t know. It looks a little like the blazer fitted to the M60s during desert storm, with its very square shape and the way it appears to be mounted, but the side skirts look strange for ERA, more like the sides on the AAVP7A1 or the “razor blade” armor on the T-72 Shafrah’s.

They dont allow hotlinking, but they will open in a new tab.

Possibly related to the ERA from Dynamit Nobel Defence (as the company is owned by Rafael):

So DND does the ERA for the Leclerc? Also the French Army ERA?

It was only used on Emirati's Leclerc, French army version never used ERA to my knowledge :

 

Spoiler

 

The urban fighting kit Azur, used by the French and Emirati armies, doesn't use ERA but composite skirts (likely NERA) combined with cage armor :

As far as I know, the only time GIAT/Nexter proposed ERA for the Leclerc was for the "Leclerc 2015" project, and only on the turret roof to protect the tank against top attack in combination with 4 hard-kill launchers placed at the corners of the turret :

 

Spoiler

 

It never went anywhere

Said to have gone through hundreds of tests to prove efficiency and no collateral damage.
