Isnt it nearly identical and was taken in for domestic service?
Newer welded turret with different composite inserts, new transmission, added thermal imaging(this was an option for the 85-IIM but I think most buyers didn't opt for it. I don't know if the Sudanese models had them) and some sources also mention a newer gun compared to the original Type 85-IIM which uses a gun more closer to the original 2A46 while the Type 96 used one incorporating tech from the Rheinmetall 120mm guns.
