Looks more like something Textron would build than an AVGP to me. Front end lacks the pointed 'bow', side door common to Textron vehicles, side ports common to Textron vehicles. Wheel gap is far too wide when compared to other AVGP/Piranha based vehicles, and redesigning it wouldn't make sense when other 8x8 Piranhas/LAVs already exist.
