This link seems to be dead as well unfortunately, though the BBS in question is still around.
EDIT: Found what seems to be an updated link but the photos are mostly gone. Drats. - https://www.multi-board.com/board/index.php?thread/45034-borgward-panzerentwurf-für-bw/

Maybe a substitute, two drawings from "Prototypen und Kleinserien-Fahrzeugen der Borgward-, Goliath und Lloyd-Werke"
by Peter Kurze. A very interesting book especially for fans of cars from the '50s.

Oops, yes, sorry, you're probably right. The model shows six road wheels, not just five.
The mentioned book doesn't have any clue to another tank project, but the Borgward
"Standardpanzer" at least progressed to a mock-up, maybe the reason, it was included
in the prototypes and small series volume.
 
I found a blueprint about the Italian design of 1960s Europa-Panzer plan (maybe oto company design).
anybody has more details about this plan C?
BTW:IN WOT,this project became a heavy tank with 127mm gun . Called Rino cernote

The drawing is actually the Borgward (German company) proposal C for the Leopard 1 tank.

A was Porsche
B was Rheinstahl-Henschel
C was Borgward

Only A and B were built.

This patent looks similar to PH Holden's tank design in Interavia. They both use a separate in-hub motor for each drive wheel and have a low-profile mount.

I do not believe that Italy ever designed such a vehicle. It looks, in concept, very different from their ways. Apart from the lowered crew, the mount is similar in disposition to the one by Wegmann.
