Canada uses both Leopards (1's and 2's) and Abrams, and Australia uses Abrams in small quantities, replacing their old Leo-1AS, or did they go for the Leo-2 as well?

Also, they have apparently added / will be adding T-72 to the game as playable now?

Yes. With 3D interior.

And while we're at it, the Abrams as playable is not new, but so far it was the old M1 only. The M1A1 and SEP were added last year, but non-playable, the M1A1 now is playable with 3D interior, too. The old Leopard 2A4
finally got 3D interior as well. The Challenger 2 was added in last update, but non-playable, it is now being turned into playable, but without 3D interior (TC and gunner only have all their sights available, like the Leo2A4 before.

Full vehicle list in the SBP resources, there are 17 MBTs now (some definitely cold war era), plus 60+ other vehicles (APCs, IFVs, cars, trucks, new upgrade not counted, helicopters and infantry not counted). Of the MBTs, 11 are playable now. Two dozens of the other vehicles are playable as well.

Edit: Bah, ninjaed. Oh well, Skybird likely has more accurate information on this subject than I do anyway.

I know not more than what they make public, and what I know from using the sim since years.

Tanksim forum has a thread listing the major news on the upgrade's content. Centurions, for example, or Boxer, Fuchs, 2S1, ZSU-23, new bridge layer options, and 3D infantry. Mannable ATGMs also is new. Plus the usual package of bug fixing. They said they are still not done with revealing all new candy - more to come, that means.
