That is indeed a Karrar MBT that has not had its full ERA package installed over its (new) turret and chassis.
Your example is an IRGC T-72 upgrade project while the picture of the Karrar that I posted is a Defense Industry Organization (DIO) product.
Well, can you show me the difference?
Yes it is.
This is from the same sequence of pics showing the karrar upgrades being carried out on t72s
This is the next pic in the sequence,in this one you can clearly see on the tank on the left [the same one featured in the pic posted by Bahram]the karrars panoramic commanders sigh and integrated remote weapons mount,plus in the tank on the right you can also see the karrars fixed sight[the black object on top of the turret to the right of the gun]
In addition in Bahrams op you can also clearly see the karrars heavy reactive armor cassettes being mounted onto the turret,you can also see that the bottom horizontal cassettes are thicker than the ones used in the upgrade of the t72 in the pic that Ich posted.
You can see the rest of the sequence here:

There are links to other images posted with close ups of the tanks in question showing fine detail but I havent tracked them down again yet.
So the first one is a T72M upgrade and the second one is a T72S upgrade and the exibition shows the upgrades of T72 variants in Iran?
