loaders hatch is far more substantial, plus a possible mount for a RWS?

Whewre do you see RCWS mount? In base Cr2 Enforcer replaced loader periscope

just guess work, there’s a bare pintle mount here:
CR3 pintle
that’s why I had a question mark after it

thats for base gun, 7.62, 12.7, 40, not the whole RCWS, it would be too heavy to be held by something like that

Is this challenger 3 or another tech demonstrator / prototype?

Cr3 proto (2024)

It’s looking very strange.

they basically did the same thing they did with the challenger 2, new turret, same hull

Sorry to say this, but it is not a choice. It sailed long ago, it just serverd as a demonstrator of a 130 autoloaded gun. Base is a 2019 Cr3 TD with 130 autoloader and additonal armour
