Thanks Easo, that's the information I was looking for. It's been over 30 years since I was on the leopards and have no recollection of the bore brushes. The one on the right is the standard 105 brush used on the 105 howitzers and 106 recoiless.

Default Bore Brushes

They look like Leopard, although the 105mm Centurion was was very similar. However, we could always tell the difference as the German Leopard ones are metric threaded while the British ones were British thread type (not sure which one BSW, BSF or BSP) and would not thread onto the Leopard gun staves. US 105mm will be threaded NC or NPT I imagine.
