I'm looking for data, 3-line drawings and pictures on Belgian AV and light tank "Cobra" designed by ACEC for Belgian Army. An interesting feature of the Cobra was the electric transmission.

You might try looking around for some of those 1990s-timeframe Jane's "pocket guides" on AFVs,
those ones that sold for US$14.95-19.95 (and perfectly sized to fit in a US Army trousers' cargo pocket)
I know there's at least one of them out there with the Cobra in it, but not being home right now, I couldn't tell you what specific year it was printed (definitely try for earlier 1990s though...).
 
ACEC was dismantled and its various operations sold off in 1989 and ceased to exist in 1992

Here are two pictures scanned from a Chinese book. Sometimes Chinese books do have some unexpected information.
