Note this is for Chally 1 but here they are referring to Asbestos as “splash curtains” that doesn’t sound like insulation
Especially if we have

Insulation through another method

These “splash curtains” also appear on Chally 2 and also cover the mantlet only. I don’t think it’s referring to spall liner.

I mean what else is going to be splashing at you?

I mean it’s possible they both have a flexible mantlet cover. But I haven’t seen anything to suggest all round coverage on CR1/chieftain.

Oh no, no one said all round, its clearly a front of turret thing.

I mean extra protection on its weak spot? Sign me up fam’.

Guess this applies to CR2 as well. I am kind of interested to see what the hull coverage is like irl. Other than the front plate.
