I can certainly see them limiting the armour from the public as they will all be ITAR controlled. Nothing new there. The M113 lynx was not sold publicly either. But other than the M151A2, I cannot think of another wheeled 'B' vehicle that has been held away from public sale.
Technically the MLVW would fall under the controlled goods regulations as well as ITAR, and that was my understanding for why the oil coolers and starters were being removed form those sold. Controlled Goods regulations qualify a vehicle with blackout lighting as falling under their control.
