A side-upgrade of SK-105. Often incorrectly terms "SK-105A3", this pre-dates the A2 upgrade and wasn't given a designation. The SK-105 is an Austrian vehicle using the French-style oscillating turret. The design supposedly came with a number of drawbacks, such as stabilisation problems (Stabilising a multi-ton turret instead of just a gun) and NBC problems. However, Austrian engineers had a crack at these problems, creating the vehicle you saw in parts 1 and 2. However, there was a further attempt at an upgrade, to use the more powerful NATO-standard 105mm gun. The request was made by Argentina to use the same gun as their TAM tank, and as Austria used a compatible gun on the M60, it made sense from the Austrian perspective as well.
