That's a Challenger from the front, with the turret reversed.

Below a Challenger from the rear, with the turret reversed

And here a normal shot from the rear

Merkava use no Challenger input. It did use suspension and track (partially) based on that of the Centurion.

"Royal Tiger", purchased for testing the Swedes from the French in 1947

According Panzermuseum Axvalla Sweden bought 1947 one King Tiger and one Panther from France. Note that one of my links state that Sweden already 1943 bought one Panther. From the Tiger there is only the engine and a tower cover left. The cover was found at a shooting field. As the Tiger tank was not drivable, see the middle picture it was transported to Finnerödja by train and then towed the remaining 60 km to the shooting field of Karlsborg. For the towing one Sherman and one M25 Dragon Wagon were used. The Tiger was totally destroyed there except the tower which was moved to the shooting field of Kråk. This means that the rests of the Tiger tower lies rusty at Kråk. The type of this King Tiger and Panther look just the same. To separate them one must almost control the weight. The Tiger had a weight of 69 ton and 100 mm panzer in front.
The Panther was used as late as 1960. 1961 it was sent as a gift to panzer museum Munster Germany. The SPHF society has a website about the Kingtiger but only in Swedish

This is upon arrival in Sweden, 1947

The tiger should be from 1st company s Pz Abt 503, that fought south of Caen

The swedish kingtiger was quite unusual in that it had the Porsche turret (only 50 tanks made, compared to 400 with Henschell turret), with the early version of the barrel, made in one piece,snorkel and unusal tailpipe construction.

The ship is a Sedisch vessel of the Tre Kronor (Three Crowns) class.
The cruisers were designed by the Italian shipyard CRDA in 1940–1941. The main armament was seven Bofors 152 mm guns, with one triple turret forward and two twin turrets aft. The guns were being built by Bofors for the Eendracht-class cruisers building in the Netherlands for the Royal Netherlands Navy but were taken over by the Swedish government when the Netherlands surrendered to Germany in May 1940 and construction halted.
A political debate broke out about the cruisers, with this, together with rework of the design, ensured that work did not start until 1943. The ships were built by the Götaverken and Eriksberg shipyards in Gothenburg. HSwMS Tre Kronor was launched on 16 December 1944, and HSwMS Göta Lejon on 17 November 1945.
The delayed start to the ships and industrial action meant that World War II was long over when the ships were completed, with both ships entering service in ... 1947
Tre Kronor-class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
... so, its a brand new ship (possibly in final stage of fitting out).
