Good observation! If you took a few seconds more I bet you could come up with quite a few other things. I read that out of the 12 prototype MBT-70 tanks made by the U.S.A. and Germany no two tanks were exactly alike.

Yes I notice a lack of cupolas and periscope for all but either the driver or Gunner (blanking on the exact positioning of crew), no coax, the tank overall is flipped along the vertical so left is right and right is left, smoke dischargers are absent, travel lock is not installed, near the idler wheel should be more vertical for the installing of a dozer blade, fenders shouldn't have that step after the first foot and should although not straight be more inline along the hull, missing the spotlight that was coaxially mounted on many (but not all) and should at least have the mounting bracket, return rollers should be split pairs (so 2 per axle with a split between them for the track guide horns) tracks are sloppy (more art quality not really "wrong") no markings what so ever not even a US Star or German Cross so you can't even tell if it's actually an MBT-70 or KPZ-70

Note that I am to blame for any lack of detail or missing equipment in this drawing. I paid for the commission drawing and I also gave the artist a very long list of sources of images (still and videos) of the images of the different prototypes on the Web. I also gave him the general rule that he was to simplify the equipment in general. This was because I wanted to give a good view of the very long turret of this tank. For instance, I specifically asked him to remove the smoke dischargers that he had placed, at one stage of the WIPs he had drawn. The clean lines of the turret are very visible in the moving images of the tank, available within several videos on YouTube. Note that on these videos there is no sign of US or German markings:

Dang, those letters and numbers are small and blurry in the video! But by digging some more on the Web (instead of digging for my CD-ROMs with my visits to the former Ordnance Museum in Maryland and the panzer museum in Munster, West Germany) I finally found legible letters and numbers on a US MBT-70 and a black cross on a German MBT-70:

Yes those in museums (especially the Panzermuseum Munster) mostly have markings on them, no vehicle rarely goes unmarked in military service even if a prototype or development vehicle, even vehicles such as the Maus and M6A1 had markings on them, simply not just for identification but tracking of vehicle production, units, identification, marking modifications (see 75mm Gun M3 on Gun Motor Carriage M8 better known as the M8A1), Bundeswher vehicles would almost always have the balkenkruez and American Army vehicles will almost always have "US Army" during the Cold War and will have their bumper numbers.
You're right! It was impossible for the Magpie Museum of Science and Industry (on the distant planet Magpie) to get an original from Earth. This is the 28th century and a lot of the MBT-70 prototypes have disapeared over the centuries. It was relatively easier to make a replica of sorts, with local decisions made on what it would look like.
