I assume it is some sort of test bed?

It was a prototype that only reached testbed stage.

Strv 103D

  No.  Not Swedish.

I’d guess it as a US or Soviet prototype based on the Strv 103 concept.

Not US or Soviet.  Although the vehicle concept looks similar to the Strv 103, this vehicle may (unable to confirm) have been in development prior or contemporaneously to the S-tank.  The gun on this vehicle had a "limited" traverse capability vice none on the S-tank.

A couple of more views.

Is that a 90 mm MBT gun?

Is that a 90 mm MBT gun?

No.  The diameter of the barrel is 84 mm, though the gun is known by another designation.  This gun was fitted for trial purposes, but if this vehicle had gone into production it would most likely have mounted a 105 mm gun.

Contentious was only developed to test-bed stage and it used a redundant Comet chassis, shortened and adapted so that the suspension could be employed to elevate and depress the gun. For trial purpose the 83mm (20 pounder) gun was fitted but a 105mm weapon was considered for the production version. It had a crew of two, driver and gunner, and would have required an automatic loader to be fully effective.

I thought I recognized the tracks.....
