isn't that at Type 98? the type 99 should have the driver in the center line. the type 98 should have the driver on the front left of the tank - or right side if looking at it from the front.

or is that person just kneeling there?

Apparently you can transport tanks using trucks with no wheel support in the middle.

these are old tanks, probably type-59 and their variants, usually no more than 40 tons. heavy trucks can easily carry it. but if type 99 is being carried, then mid-section tires are probably needed for better weight distribution.

I think it is a type 96 base variant with no armoured blocks added and possible carried empty. (no ammo and little fuel to get on and off truck). So about 40 tonnes max.

That's the basic ZTZ96.
