Also, I draw you attention to the following video...the Turkish Land Forces Commander states that the T-155 is an original Turkish design ("özgün")!! Hence, I rather choose to believe first hand resources...

Its a K-9 with NATO standard locally produced Fire and communication systems.

Sort of like, if the US bought it. They would take out the ROK stuff and put AFADATS in. Either way its still a K-9. Of course we would give it a new cool name too

what is left to be designed is only the turret
Well crap. You may have noticed thats that seems to be where the howitzer is located. You know the meat and potatoes of a artillery vehicle.
