Looks like another tracked articulated vehicle like Russian DT-30A tracked patrol vehicle (?) that I have never seen before.

A tracked patrol vehicle (?) that I have never seen before.
It could be a variant of the largest of the vehicle types shown in this video (i.e., the "30吨" one):
Some have claimed it's a DT-30 clone, which I can believe, as the track-and-wheel configuration and design seem too similar to the DT-30's to be merely a matter of coincidence or convergent engineering.

Do we actually know that this thing is the ZLT19, specifically the 19 part?
type 19, and ZTL, not ZLT
ZTL-11 is based on the Type 08 chassis, so clearly the nomenclature is not so simple.
Doesn't the 2012 naming scheme specify ZLT, at least to out knowledge? More recently they've started putting L for wheeled as the second letter. ZLT11, PLB625, PLC155/52 (a.k.a. SH15, yes I know the 155/52 part is a mess), stuff like that.

according to the naming regulation issued by 2012.10.1,
z for armored, L for wheeled, T for "Tuji"(assult gun type). you are right. Althought the regulation is still classified, there are some mix uses here and there in different media sources.
the problem here forZTL/ZTL is not the chassis is almost the same as zbd-08, this is because the type-11 was developed from ZBD-08 and finalized for ready to service in 2011. The main PROBLEM I recognize here is the ZTL also means amphibious tank. lol, so maybe I am wrong, ZLT-19 is fine.
