During the development of Leopard 2, about seventeen different hulls (PT series) and turrets (T series) were built. At least two of the hulls (numbered PT11 and PT17) were fitted with hydropneumatic suspension and only six roadwheels. I managed to find only one small picture of such hull. Please, doeas anybody have more of them? Or more photos of some other interesting prototypes of Leopard 2? Many thanks for any answer.
There are several photos of a Leopard 2 prototype with additional 20mm automatic gun, which is usually labeled "PT11", but in fact, it is T11 turret combined with a different hull (the hulls and turrets were designed as "interchangeable"). The hull seen at the photos has got seven roadwheels, thus, it is not the PT11.
