*another* US light tank for T2k?

[raketenjagdpanzer]

Image and data for the FMC CCV-L, from The Encyclopedia of World Military Power (c. 1989)

Found some notes about it here:
The Politics of American Light Armor From Post-Vietnam to Post Cold-War

This already list in the several publications as the Stingray Light Tank in service with Thailand since 1990.

No, it's a different piece of equipment; the Stingray is listed just above it in the book.

Ok but

"AGS-Stingray - Stingray modified for the AGS competition but lost to the FMC/UDLP/BAE Close Combat Vehicle Light which became the type-classified M8 Armored Gun System"

isn't the M-8 AGS listed in a few TW 2000 pulications?

On another note Check Out the Stingray II

"Dimensions of the turret were deliberately designed to allow it to be refitted to M-41 Walker Bulldog and M-551 Sheridan vehicles as an upgrade"

Just found some info - there was a BAE option designed to allow for a bigger turret and more protection...so...yeah...CCV-L == M8 AGS. Mystery solved. Pity; thought I'd found some cool "new" vehicle!
