Another entry to the list: K21-105
(The K21, but this time with a 3105 turret instead)
The full lineup of turrets taking part in the demonstration including the Cockerill 3105 on the K21, manned and unmanned versions of the 3030 system mounted on AMV and Piranha 8×8 vehicles, Belgian SIBMAS (6×6) with LTCS 90MP, Commando Select (4×4) with CSE 90LP mounted and the CPWS on a Sherpa Light 4×4
This makes the K21 the only vehicle to trial all Cockerill 105 mm gun turrets!
So I missed the Pindad Harimau: Turkish-Indonesian Skirmisher with the Cockerill 3105 turret suggestion, hereby I added it. There is one line for the roughly 10 variants of this vehicle.
I suppose I should add some to the pile.

Isn’t this the same vehicle from another angle? If so now you know the gun. (mk.3 90 mm)

Nice it is. Great find.
So it’s a Mk 3 over the Mk 1 as claimed. Lovely news (I think)

Jais 4x4 CPWS II
Found by @Tim_TeaDrinker , it’s a Saudi-Arabian Jais 4x4, UAE license built modification of the South African RG35, fitted with a Cockerill second-generation CPWS.
I found more accurate data. Saudi Arabian.
State-owned Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) unveiled a new version of the Jais 4x4 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle that it is producing under licence from United Arab Emirates-based NIMR.
The new version of Jais, as seen by Shephard on 7 March at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, is equipped with a SAMI-CMI Roaya remote weapon station (RWS), which a company representative said is a version of the John Cockerill CPWS turret.

I found a much better photo of the Chilean variant here, so you can replace the current low-quality one whenever you get the chance :D

Three more External Weapon System (EWS) – C-Series (C25 & C30) vehicles
SABCA/IOP M113A1-B C25
MOWAG Tornado C25
MOWAG Piranha 8x8 C25
Any additional, higher resolution, pictures for these vehicles would be appreciated!
The C25 turret was also fitted to the Vickers Valkyr (apologies if this has already been mentioned but I didn’t see it anywhere in the post)

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to add it, I remember that video.
That looks like a showmodel of this one (which is in the CT-CV section under the Large calibre ones):
