Next-gen MBT spotted. It has a bore evacuator, but there's 2 hatches at the front. Is it turret manned?

View attachment 136792
There's periscope between the two hatches so I think all three crew members are in the hull and the turret is unmanned. This tank seems to lack the barrel sleeve spotted on the previous photo though. Some cannon on system with unmanned turret like Stryker MGS also has bore evacuator, I think they just use existing stockpile of 105mm barrel rather than making new barrel without the bore evacuator.

Well, tanks and Army-stuff is not my topic, but doesn't this MBT looks a bit small & light for a true MBT?
Scale can be sometimes to deceiving in the early two photos, the vehicle seems to be not a Leopard 2 size but not considerably smaller than the current tanks which are only slightly taller but same length as T-72/T-90
