 I think it's an OMC RG-12.

 Good find!

It seems the company uses the brand name 'Land Systems OMC' since the takeover by 'BAE Systems'.

But OMC wasn't acquired by BAE Systems until after this film was made. I would think that the correct name to use here must be Reumech OMC:
Quote OMC is the initialism under which the Olifant Manufacturing Company of South Africa was most commonly known during its existence. It was established specifically for the task of creating the Olifant tank for the South African Army. Today it is part of BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa, itself a division of BAE Systems Land and Armaments.

OMC's existence as an independent company was short-lived however, and early into its life it was taken over by Reunert, which subsequently turned it into a division called Reumech OMC. It was under this name that OMC saw its most prolific level of vehicle development, as the SA Army's involvement in the Border War in Angola created a massive need for ever more advanced and capable vehicles. In 1997 Reunert acquired TFM Industries defense Systems unit and along with it came the designs for the Mamba APC.

You are absolutely right. I missed checking the production date of the film.
