Iran has put its engineers to work very hard to make an M60 look like an Abrams, but they couldn't figure out how to remove that huge cupola?

 

It's a funny looking gun tube for an M60, and the gunners sight is on the wrong side (for a pukka M1 and M60). I guess the iranians heard everyone saying the zolfaghar looked like the M1, and decided to make the most of the likeness

article from Armed Forces Journal International, issue of May 16, 1970 (via GoogleBooks, which unfortunatelly shows this magazine in snippet view mode only. So, it's possible to recover text over the course of several hours, all of it - in case one is lucky enough, but puctires are all gone)

The slides say the armor is made by Plasan, an Israeli company. One of the photographs shows a Plasan armor demonstrator based on the Piranha 5 (parts of various different armor kits fitted to the Piranha).

Pretty sure this pic is from Spanish Army project "Dragón" presentation.
