You are right that Sweden had other designs, but this could be a transit between lines tank or premium one, think that the M/38-39-40 could be Tier 4 and the M/42 tier 5 :)

There were plans to potentially upgrade the gun and turret to accomodate a 57mm gun with a 3 round autoloader. But this never went anywhere. But there were other modifications that were at least prototyped

Yes the vehicle was equipped with a Scania-Vabis 603 engine that produced 162 hp

I fixed it. This post a tiny bit… problematic, because the Czech sources paint the history a bit differently. I might write the Czech perspective in a separate post.

Not sure what the Swedish planned with this vehicle, in Czechoslovakia, there was a plan to upgun it to 47mm

err… didn’t you mention in the Text a 162 hp engine for the S2, because the Summary still has 142 written in it…
btw, where there any plans for bigger guns or so on these Tanks? always 3.7 is kinda… boring, sorry
