Here is some news 13 Jun 2013:

Combat Dragon II Demonstrates OV-10G+ Bronco Capabilities | Defense Media Network
Interesting , thx for posting that.
I know that the Luftwaffe was looking to revive/update the BRONCO for a COIN/FAC role a couple of years ago, I don't know what became of this plan, probably got canned due to the ever shrinking budgetary means.

Come to think of it, something like this updated OV10 could have been very useful in a non contested airspace like the French operated in over MALI.
