The Leopard 1's turret is designed to withstand the T-55's 100mm gun projectiles frontally, and (probably) the BMP-2's 30mm gun laterally. Generally the hull armor is even weaker since the concept of the Leo 1 put more emphasis on mobility and firepower than armor protection.

MBTs of the early 80s to late 90s don't have a lot of armor at the sides. They're adequate to deal with RPG-7 and similar threats, but if you manage to hit the flanks while bypassing roadwheels and side skirts you can hurt them even with medium caliber APFSDS. Let's not forget that at the time when Leo 2 and M1 were designed APDSDS were by far not the norm for medium caliber guns. In fact, only the BMP-2 and some British IFVs had meaningful medium caliber cannons, while most of NATO still drove around in M113s with cal .50s.
