Weird 4 door variant with space for cargo.
I'm sure export variants would come with a whole family of variants or a couple of VLS tubes, perhaps.

The Grizzly pod could be a handy addition to those empty cargo trays. They also state "low cost" but we have a habit of changing that ;)
We could pivot to APKWS as well as mentioned in the comments of the attached article.

Looks like the MR6, with the front windows of the Hawkei.
