Well after days of searching I have only been able to come up with one picture and almost no info regarding the wading equipment itself.
This is the picture i found

I will continue to search and now I think my best bet will be a publication or a T-72 TM. I remember being in a B&N and finding a book with a picture in it with a row of what appeared to be t-72s with wading gear on preparing to move out. Instead of just having a snorkel on them they had a large tube above the commander's hatch in which the commander was perched in at the top. Well right now I really regret not getting that book. Still if anyone can come up with anything it is very appreciated. Thank you.

Information and pictures of modern Russian armour is still quite hard to find, especially compared to American or European tanks. I searched for a few minutes, and came up with nothing more than 'The T72 was fitted with wading gear.'
