I)
EDIT: Now that I'm at it, I think I'll throw in a few more 
II)
III)
IV)
V)

Nope.
The position of the engine exhausts and fans give it away

Leopard II? (The fan positioning is strongly reminiscent of the model kit I have of that tank.)

You are quite right 
This is a MTU MB 873 Ka-501 engine for the Leopard 2, in this case meant for the Strv 122. It is based on a common industrial engine which has been adapted for military use. Variants of the MTU MB 873 Ka-501 can also be found on for example the Merkava IV and K2 Black Panther, built under license or in co-operation with MTU.
Here are two images which show how the fans and exhausts of the engine are articulated in the Leo 2 hull.

Seems like a very unkind thing to do to a M551 Sheridan.
