    As far as I can tell, this is a new model, released/announced very recently.
    Of course the cab is based on a very old design, but it has a (relatively) modern common rail engine.

    If you google Ashok Leyland 4123 you will find quite a lot of youtube videos, all 2nd half of April 2018.

    Ashok Leyland had it's global conference in April 2018 in Chennai where they introduced all the latest developments.
    I guess that is where the video was made.

    Only pictures, not in real life.

    I did see lots of Tata-Daewoo's Scania look alikes in South Korea.
    Front grill is different, but profile from side is very similar to previous Scania.
