Those are Canadian Troops training on those Leopards, the latest info has them deploying with their A6Ms to Afghanistan later in 07.
The Germans didn't adopt both the increased armor on both the turret and upper hull, opting instead for increased protection on the bottom hull and better internal protection for the crew from mines and IEDs. The only noticable difference externally seems to be the 6x2 grenade launchers, should be easy to convert Tamiya's Leo into A6M.
And here's a 9:42 video from 2002
