I am no Diesel mechanic. From what I understand the two stroke Detroit Diesel uses a low compression two stroke like an 8-71 configuration. The supercharger is gear driven and force fed by a turbo to help boost compression

That makes sense, I think I've read about those.
Regarding the alleged gas turbine powered supercharger of the future Russian tank, my search the other day did have a hit with something similar in use at a stationary power-plant, first kind in the world it claimed.
More than one way to skin a cat, but if you are putting in a gas turbine/generator into a tank why not just do it like the Abrams tank and be done with it?
