it does points to a extensive engineering processes, unfortunately it will be decades until we have book published about how the development went , even now we still don't know how many type 96 prototypes were.I wonder how many 8x8 assault gun variants they are testing.
The first one here a different turret design altogether. Note the small door at the back of the turret, which indicates the presence of an auto-loader. Another thing, the door geometry is very similar or identical to the auto-loader door on the ZTQ-15 light tank, which might mean that the gun is different from the one in your image.
This one is almost identical to the vehicle in your image, but there are minor differences in the turret, but I think it's safe to say that they are the same design/variant. The turret here appears to sit lower (without the turret ring exposed), but this could be due to the angle, or maybe the vehicle in your image is atypical.
Then there is this one, which appears to feature a very large bow flap, which leads me to believe that this might be specifically designed for the Marines and unrelated to the variants in the images above.

Could be 2 different turret designs competing against one another. The losing one could end up as an export model just like the VT-5 and ZTQ-15.I wonder how many 8x8 assault gun variants they are testing.

That a type 99 too , the whole line is on a mobile platform , Chinese tractor manufacturing sure came a long way , since a both are very similar for the prospective of manufacturing facility requirement.A robot at a maintenance depot.
