Well it started that I wasn't going to have anything to offer here, then I remembered about A1. from researching the new LEOPARD 7A1+ from the 2010/2011 campaign, made an offer and honored the request
(British Huskey Thread by obreedon) and found another. Just before and after posting the 1st Patch Post I came across three more to be added to my next PP. One of which I recently just posted on (And not to the country of origin.) and another that'll go to I believe five countries total. Both linked to the same country. So that's the news part and here's the PP segment...
MRAPS
Nothing much happening here right now except for the below item. The sector has been very busy in the area of orders for existing equipment. The only other new piece of equipment to fit this category is Paramount’s MATADOR & MAURADER (Pg. 8 Posts #75 & 76.) however Aberbazan is not in the game and they are currently the only operators of these vehicles which some have dubbed "the best in their class". The deal with Jordan never got done. See Posts # for further information.
A1. ADD/NORWAY/DINGO 2/JAN 2011/C1 P7/ARROWS-300 FULL SYSTEM ROT w/40mmHV AGL Rds UKN & M3S 12.7mm w/300RDs./See Ref 3 which shows the turret as described and ordered by Norway./
The DINGO 2 is a much improved version of the DINGO 1 that's better protected and much more mobile.

A2. ADD/UK/HUSKEY/JUN 2009/P4 RECON-SPEC OP versions/RWS 12.7mm w/UKN Rds./C2 P2 for Transport, Command or Ambulance versions./Also known as the MXT. The Recon-Spec Op versions are up armored from the others and since all retain the bed portion of the vehicle besides extra fuel and other gear to cause the enemy some havoc, I'm sure there's plenty of room for ammo, I would think 1500 - 2000 Rds would not be unreasonable in this case. This vehicle represents the third in the triad of better protected vehicles UK MOD had sought to lower the causality rates of the ones used prior to them which is why Ref. A is where it's at.
