So is this just another example of Airbus farming off their old designs to Korea as they have with the H215? Looks like it to me..

Yes, looks remarkably like an EC155!

Now if Bristow sells off some surplus hand held radios they can get into the aerial bombardment business!

Very much so: “Design of the LAH began in June 2015, three months after Airbus and KAI had announced the H155-based LAH/LCH joint program (https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2015-03-17/airbus-helicopters-inks-mega-deal-korea), which builds on the success of the earlier Korean Utility Helicopter teaming that produced the H225-based Surion (https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2010-03-15/koreas-surion-helicopter-flies).”

Otherwise, it could’ve been based on an AW169, apparently.
