Finnish F18C - HMS

Why doesn’t the Finnish F18C get HMS, even though it has the same AN/APG-73 radar as does the American F/A-18C. The American F/A-18C has HMS, but the Finnish F18C doesn’t. Yet the two have identical radars? Why?

Early F-18 Hornet were not equipped with JHMCS. Finnish Hornet was delivered before JHMCS became available. During MLU1 Upgrade, Finnish Hornets received the JHMCS.
Since WT is a representation of the early Finnish F-18C model, it is not there.
