While I don’t know where from I could source a lot of information besides BAE and Hägglunds, I’ll be home in 30 minutes or so and can start a rudimentary search for as many mk.iv configurations as I can find.
I’m sure there’s a source somewhere that says essentially everything from the C variant onwards is fitted with a spall liner from the factory.

the Bushmaster 35mm is the one the could be changed to a 50mm not the 30mm.
I suspect this might be a case of the manufacturer thinking “Why of course it has a spall liner, what self-respecting modern vehicle doesn’t?”, hence not bothering to mention the feature in advertisement because it has become expected to have one.
Also, here’s interior pic of CV90MkIV. Pay attention to the visible panel in the corner between walls and ceiling. Could this be part of spall liner?
Compare with schematic of CV9040C spall liner

Perhaps, but it is also mentioned on some of their other vehicles (that admittedly aren’t IFV’s) advertisements.
Edit:
A nice view of the insides during production where spall liner can be seen, unclear what version this is though.

More info on the weight:
(https://youtu.be/lUyZIqH2XQE?si=CHKk2rvOXC4sqmNR&t=417)
“can take more weight without being any heavier” .
So the increase is in carrying capacity, not weight of the vehicle. lol.
This would be amazing for a future CV9035 MK.IV.

Here is also a video of a captured CV90 after taking a unkown shell type to the side but still is in almost mint condition. Crew with personel apparently survived if im not mistaken.

Also noticed that most of the bug reports have been accepted! Some are still open but i suppose they forgot to close.

Thats what i mentioned, now we need spall liners and weight again
I agree, i have made 4 bug reports in a week and now christmas is approaching so i dont have time to sit down and make the spall liner report for now, if no one else does it before christmas i might have time before new year otherwise i can make one next year hehe

If i knew more info on the MK.IV id probably do it but im a viggen kinda guy, (now gib Danish F 35/bomber draken) ground vehicles scare me to bug report. Well unless their finnish, in which case they ban me for a month because theres a Hikaristi on them which i have to cover with a type 87 rcv (p) i named spoingus. Seriously i want to fix the camos on the WW2 finnish vehicles but the mods are killing me. Side note wheres the rest of DK gaijin? I need my home country.

The entire Japanese lineup is truly a magical sight to behold. Honestly its my comfort lineup at 9.3, type 93 is safer in the enemy spawn than your own since most matches have us get spawncamped unfortunately.

The MK.IV cant have the hat in the middle otherwise you cant see with the commander sight. Huge loss in performance by not having access to my Danish magic to make enemies instantly lose 100 IQ points.
It is nice having a second vehicle with 1.5-24x zoom though and its in the middle and helps with firing from long distance…not that the 30mm is gonna be used like that.

It’s a bit sad that we can’t put decorations on the sights and stuff. It would be amazing to have a hat on the extendable commander sights and having the hat pop in and out of cover to taunt the enemy XD
But this is getting a bit of topic :P

True lol, honestly this is sorta on topic but why do we not have modern squadron numbers? Like none of the CV90’s in game have any of their markings and its pretty sad to not even see them on the back of the turret or hull. Would be nice to have some yellow numbers that were on the vehicle itself but i get some peeps would rather a clean look especially since the MK.IV isnt in service with with sweden. At least iirc sweden is gonna go with the D turret on the MK.III chassis. (Fingers crossed we get Danish MK.III) so the TT CV90 MK.IV D can be added instead of a MK.III

yeah, its so that players can choose for themselves what markings they want by getting decals :)
If i have understood things correctly there is a joint agreement with Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for a jointly ordered base model and then attachments/minor adjustments for each country after the fact. so the model Sweden is currently receiving is practically identical to the CV9035NL MLU, at least for the first 50 that are to replace the ones sent to Ukraine. Then after those 50 it’s currently anyone’s guess as nothing has been decided yet as far as i know.
you mean, “as well as a” ;)
I could probably put up a bug report for the name so we can get it changed but gaijin may be under the impression that this is the only CV90 MK.IV for the TT

I really don’t want to spend an eternity grinding for the exact same vehicle again since they couldn’t bother adding it with the first MK.IV.
This “upgrade” of the CV90 is just a CV9030FIN but with a pair of spikes that barely work either, but at a much higher BR.
