Now, I might be wrong here, but that 8x8 in the background looks like a little-known vehicle called "Type 19" for the PLA. I won't add tags as I am suspicious of my visual conclusion, but it appears to be the version built for a wheeled IFV role.

Well it appears to be a Chinese Type 19 IFV or a ZBL 19/1 both look like they have the same angles and proportions on the armor as well as the same drivers window, headlights, etc. The tower/turret is the same with 12 most likely smokes on the front side (2 to the left and 2 to the right of the gun mantlet and 4 on the left and right front plate). A smaller (not tiny) but centered main gun is shown around the size of a 30mm - 25mm wich would fit the IFV versions 30mm gun. The 4 ATGM launchers are hidden from this angle and the commanders sight is attached at the top too. Meanwhile the middle part is not as long as the part between the 3rd and 4th tires shows that it is not a ZBL 19/1 since its shorter on the Type 19 around as short as the front part. (I still don't know what these parts are called ig its extra armor) conclusion: not a ZBL 19/1 making it most likely a Type 19 P.S. I think that's the only way to tell them apart besides their internals if you wonder why this is edited i checked it on a higher resolution again to confirm and saw that it wasn't longer (not 100% sure if it is longer if it is then ZBL 19/1)
Context: Thanks to Mitaina, we see a lot of Kaga-min and Konata Souryuu pics lately, but Masakuza J already did this back in 2015. This turned up on my Twitter TL today.
