Artwork Differs

In the US Army Vehicle Guide the "M1A2 Abrams III 'Giraffe'" turret is clearly inspired by the Teledyne armored gun system.

This is not at all the direction the Tank Test Bed was heading, but it was probably still classified when GDW wrote the original game so they went with what the Army Green Book was speculating.

But the remote turret in the artwork of the NATO Vehicle Guide's "Leopard III" looks a lot more like what the TTB had, if a bit taller.

The M1 TTB:

Teledyne Armored Gun System:


Yes, that looks familiar, it's the same turret and gun as the Stryker MGS.
