Looks like a 512. Also, not that that SCAR seems to be set up for a leftie.

Because the charging handle is on the right side?

a right handed person that spent alot of time with Ar-15's and other like semi to full auto's would want the charging handle on the right hand side of the gun. The first thing i noticed when i handled the SCAR is that if a person braced the firearm by the magazine well he could pretty much say good bye to his thumb on the first shot.

I don't know how you brace your hand on the magazine of a rifle, but I have my thumb down or forward and not thumbs up. That's why I like the ACR better than the SCAR, the ACR doesn't have reciprocating charging handle

Looks like they´re adopting the H too after testing it:

So they're buying P90s, F2000s and Scars. Why not just open an FN factory in the country.

I didn't know they made earlier models with a raised front base. I thought only the 557 and its variants had that.

Although to be fair it could be the 552 and I simply stuffed the identification. The only difference I can think of between the two is the 552 is NV ready.

No, it isn't a 552/552 variant, not by the raised front base.

Here's a pic of a SCAR-L fitted with a 552.

As you can see, it fits flush over the rail.

But look at the front base of the one in Markost's pic.

Notice how it sits raised above the rail rather than fitting flush over it like in the previous pic.
