There is a mention that the export version of the M1A2
(which would be new build) does not have the DU, but it is kind of
hard to tell for sure, as the exact armor composition is still
classified.


It's difficult to over emphasise just *HOW* classified all these armour
compositions are. Talking to a tankee at Bovington a while back, he
mentioned that they were in the maintenance sheds one day working on
their vehicles when a team from Vickers arrived to do something regarding
the armour. All the operators of the vehicle were told to leave the area
and pop down the NAAFI for a few hours while they did the necessary work
and allowed them back to their vehicles. . .
