In fact, US Army had accuracy problems during testing german 120mm L55 Gun firing new US APFSDS rounds (M829A2,M829A3)Its accuracy with this rounds was much worse than with M256 gun (L44)

Yep. I know that. But this was due to the incompatibilities of the new German gun with the US DU APFSDS rounds, that were developed to maximize the potential of the 120mm M256 gun. This does not implies, in any way, that the Rheinmetall 120mm L/55 would be less accurate than the 120mm M256 (a modified Rh 120mm L/44 gun), once the DU ammunition is optimized for this gun.
