More like South-African, given that they hired South-African engineers to design it.

GDLS shown for the first time (?) the model of its new IFV, proposed for the Australian Army Land 400 Phase 3; this clearly leverages from the Ajax family .

The new vehicle for Australia is fitted with a GDLS-designed two-person turret armed with a stabilised 30mm dual-feed autocannon. 

Hull and turret are fitted with a modular passive armour package and an APS to provide a high level of protection. 

Crew of commander, gunner and driver plus six dismounts.

Jane's article was more precise with words - "for the first time in the Middle East"
because apparently it's third time this model appears at exhibitions, and second time it looks like this - all desert-ish

   /.../

   Paramount Group showed a new MRAP "Mbombe 4" with a 4x4 wheel formula, positioning it as part of a family of armored vehicles that includes the already known Mbombe 6 (with a wheel formula 6x6) and Mbombe 8 (8x8). It is stated that all three machines of the Mbombe family have up to 70% commonality of parts.

   The starting customer of Mbombe 4 was the UAE Ministry of Defense, which announced on February 17, the first day of IDEX-2019, that a contract for the purchase of four cars of this type (apparently for evaluation tests) was signed, contract is $ 2.7 million. Paramount Group stated that in the summer of 2019 Mbombe 4 will be tested by another two potential customers.

No, but gun is similar, this is Baikal prototype (AU-220M as Serge said). Derivatsiya is SPAAG system that uses a bit different/modified turret.

Seems they're planning to overhaul their ASCOD Pizarro IFVs to a "Fase III" standard based on the latest version of the ASCOD.
