Received the motor. Seems to be the correct one, even has new 2 piece can, so size-wise it's same as current TP5660s: 80 mm long, instead of the 92 mm of the old specs. Measured kv with the XL2 to be ~1500, so even slightly hotter than spec. Will do some more tests to get a bit of a feeling for timing vs no-load Current later.

Pics below show how much more copper the TP has over the Turnigy motor. Despite having same size and lighter (vented) can, the TP weighs ~70 g (9%) more. There's also a comparison pic of the motor wires, the cutted piece on the bullet connector is from the Turnigy, looks kinda poor compared to the TP's; I actually had to dremel-out the holes on my 6 mm bullets a bit to get the TP wires to fit. But, in all fairness, the TPs cost about twice as much as the Turnigy would have at regular price. Hope the TP can live up to the expectations raised by specs and appearance :).

Still intrigued by the similarity of the appearance and specs of the Turnigy XK5682 and Leopard 5682. Would be interesting to see if anyone has some nude pics of the 56xx/58xx Leo motors.
