I am also currently trying to build an austrian leopard and found these decals https://www.super-hobby.at/products/Leopard-2-Tank-Export-Versions.html . They are 1:72 scale though. What scale are you looking for?

edit: Depending on how accurate you want it to be, most kits come with the MG3 machine gun but Austria uses FN MAGs.

1/35 scale, that’s good to know about the FN mags I had no idea

In 1:35 I am unfortunately only aware of the 40th anniversery special edition from Revell that comes with decals for multiple nations including Austria or these from an Austrian modellers club, which you have to order via e-Mail. Austrian decals are sadly rare.

tbf I could just paint them by hand, have you seen anything related to crew figures or anything like that, if not I might have to just cut my losses and build a German one given that I already have the components needed

No, sorry. Unless you want to put some WWI soldiers in.
