Hellfire II variants

I read an article about the first firing of a Hellfire II by an Oz army Tiger at the rotorhub site (http://www.shepard.co.uk/rotorhub/). In the article they listed the versions of HFII: AGM-114K (HEAT), -L (MMW radar), -M (HEBF) and -N (thermobaric). Anybody know which versions the Oz army are getting?

I believe it will be both the AGM-114L Hellfire II (with the tandem HEAT warhead) and the AGM-114M Hellfire II (with the blast-frag anti-ship warhead).

for sure not the -L version, since they are using with Eurocopter Tigers that dont have Longbow radar. and i don’t think the -N will be involved either.
