All aluminium body?

If they can get it work.  2xxx series has about 50% improvement over 5083 for ballistic resistance.

But has problems with material aging instead of 5xxx and 6xxx series.

   More about Nigerian MRAP

Quote

   The Nigerian Armed Forces adopted the Ezugwu (Mount) armored vehicle developed and released in Nigeria. The ceremonial transfer of armored cars to representatives of the national army was held in the presence of President Mohammad Bukhari.
 

   The armored car Ezugwu (Mountain) 4x4 was developed by the Nigerian state corporation Defense Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON). The car was named in honor of Major General Victor Ezugwu, known for his efforts in the fight against the banned extremist organization Boko Haram.

   According to the declared characteristics, it is able to withstand the explosion of 12 kg of explosive under the wheels and 6.75 kg under the bottom of the hull, has an independent suspension. It is assumed that the armored car is created on the Tatra 4×4 chassis.
 

   The DICON corporation, which developed this armored car, said that its height is 2 meters 63 cm. It is equipped with a 615 hp diesel engine (according to other sources - a Chinese-made WD615 turbo diesel engine, 380 hp), which allows transportation from 12 to 16 people (not specified, with or without a crew). It has two turrets rotating 360 degrees with a mounted 12.7 mm DShK and a 7.62 mm machine guns. The armored car is equipped with thermal imagers and a system of all-round cameras. It is reported that the Nigerian armed forces intend to acquire up to 130 Ezugwu armored vehicles.

And it has slovakian produced DShKM (evident from muzzle brake). Yes, the old gun is still in production. The vehicle itself seems to be quite low quality, at least it is my impression.

Are you sure it's produced in Slovakia? It used to be produced in Zbrojovka Vsetín (Czechia today) for the Czechoslovak army but the production ended decades a go. I know about some very low volume production in Vysoké Mýto, Czechia, but AFAIK not for military use.

Absolutely sure. The Kolarms factory was even visited by the hungarian gun magazine "Kaliber", with a very good report about the developments there. DSKM is called "MG1270", with minor modifications and modern production methods (CNC).

Something interesting is that on the website, the DSKM is fitted with the normal muzzle brake, but in the gun magazine, on all photos you saw a simple welded brake, like the one you see on the nigerian armored car.

Czech army received the first two KOVS and another two KOVVŠ vehicles (variants of Pandur II CZ) from Tatra Defence. KOVS is a mobile radio post and KOVVŠ is a mobile command post. Overall it shall be 20 new vehicles in these two variants.
