I am really curious if anyone knows the specific name of this MBT concept, or has resources on it, I'm mostly interested in better images of the model, or the model itself if possible. To me it looks very close to the Challenger hull with Falcon turret, but not quite.

With the limited resolution it's hard to make out any details. I would say it's an all new design, probably including some automotive components from the Abrams. The hull probably has some design basis in the Abrams hull judging from the way the engine compartment is raised in the same way.
 
Interesting. So, you're suggesting a lengthened Challenger hull with 7 x roadwheels per side?

Detail differences from the Chally hull that pop out are the missing gap between the third and fourth sets of road wheels and a larger array of driver's vision ports. Were it based on an M1 hull, the missing gap is between the first and second sets.

As you've said, not quite a Falcon turret. In the images (other than 'MSP TTB'); the turret seems broader than Falcon - perhaps indicating add-on armour?
 
No trouble at all, without discussion this place is just empty. Every now and then, something crazy turns out to be more than the emperors new suit and THAT is why most of us are here.
