As FNW says - the H175M will be a very different machine, but it does not yet exist in reality. Airbus marketeers and snake oil purveyorshave taken an H175 and installed some sideways-facing seating installed but that does not make it an 'M'. As recently re-iterated, the serial number is of the early 'demo' machine that did the rounds extolling it's O& G design credentials.
I suggest that by the time all of the low-grade chinese metal has been replaced, which will make it heavier (re-write of performance figures?), the usual trials, testing and subsequent approval of all the role equipment, DAS and useful weapons - increase MTOW to something useful like 8500kg.....not forgetting live ballistic and drop tests etc etc - then the design might justify an entry into the register as something else than what it currently is; a plain ol' O&G 175. https://www.helis.com/database/cn/28558/
