Morning all .
Just found this very good information on the above on .

Might be of help to any one looking for details on the above.

Certainly looks quite detailed, though TBH, also a bit like they paraphrased a copy of Jane’s Armour and Artillery. There are also some inaccuracies, like “The 100-mm rifle-bore main gun has a bore evacuator at the muzzle” — it does on some versions, but not on others, and (unlike what an ex-Dutch Army tanker once assured me) you can’t tell which type of T-54 or T-55 you’re dealing with based on the bore evacuator.

Oh, and you may want to edit your post to correct the typo in the title
