For some reason they decided to make different vehicle instead of making export version of that. Maybe it is too costly, but these vehicles aren't that high-tech as other military devices (i.e. glorified tractor).
But this isn't a big problem because these vehicles would be used only for military exercises, and wouldn't see any combat for their lifetime. Also buying German tech isn't a good way to spend your money. Considering that Hungary wouldn't go into real military operation with "real" enemy (when modern tech matters) in future, buying something very modern is meaningless. Much better was buying some Finnish Patria or something, but I guess political reasons (EU, Germany, etc) were critical here.
