We were wrong
System modules are integrated
Algerian tanks have full Shtora-1

Interesting, so as I thought it's because of new modernized Shtora system.

Thanks for info.

Ahl Al-Diyar uses at least two other Toyota Land Cruisers with similar designs.

I didn't even notice that.

The new batch of Algerian tanks T-90 owns a welded turret and a complete Shtora-1 system .

They are called T-90SA because there isn't any other name known for it.

"...complete Shtora-1 system."

It isn't exactly true because they are missing the MTShU-1-7 modulator (boxes behind the Shtora lights).

I don't know why they don't have them and what purpose does it serve. It can't be because of the secret technology(Syrian T-90s have it). I think it could be because of the newer Shtora-1 system.

I'd like to point out that on T-90As, the smoke grenade launchers on the vehicle's right side do remain in a single fixture of 6, not 4+2 on the turret top.

RIGHT ANSWERS - SPOILER ALERT 

Smoke grenade configuration on the vehicle's right side is the same on T-90, T-90K and T-90A(every T-90) so it was not a difference.

Thanks I should have mentioned that.

Identify T-90 models

Thanks again for an informative post.

Now, I must ask, why did the T-90K never enter production. Do platoon/company commanders just roll in regular T-90A, or is there a commander version of it called T-90KA or AK?

Thank you!

Sorry but I don't know the answers to your questions.

I wish I knew it because I am interested in it too.

There is very little available information about this tank. 

Supposedly there are some T-90AK tanks but I don't know if it's true but maybe @LoooSeR know something more about it.

EDIT : After my little research I think that the information about only 2 pieces of T-90K were produced is false.

Visual differences between T-90A and T-90K.

T-90K - Commander version

Cast turret (T-90) with 2 antennas + new tracks and more powerful V-92S2 engine (T-90A) = T-90K

Only two such tanks were produced. (false information)

Visually, the T-90K can be recognized by two antennas, as it has additional means of communication (the R-163-50K radioset) and navigation equipment (the TNA-4-3). 
It differs from T-90 with its new tracks and more powerful V-92S2 engine from T-90A.

It differs from T-90A with its cast turret.

T-90K for the first time was presented at the Moscow exhibition of arms of land forces in 2008.
And since then it disappeared from view. 

About 6 months ago this tank was spotted in Syria in hands of the Syrian Arab Army.
