Sure the gun is not the Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun?

Im not sure. In Russian thats written it was Bushmaster.

Late in 1989, the then McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems, today The Boeing Company, announced that it was developing, as a private venture, a new 35 mm weapon which would capitalise on technology developed for the 25 mm M242 Chain Gun® cannon.
The result of this programme is the 35 mm/50 mm Bushmaster III automatic cannon, which can fire 35 mm or 50 mm ammunition with minor modifications, including a barrel change. The weapon was first fired in May 1990 using standard Oerlikon Contraves 35 mm ammunition.
By early 1997, the first prototype of this weapon had undergone company trials both from a hardstand and as installed in a standard Bradley M2A2 turret. Several vehicle manufacturers are now conducting installation studies of this weapon system.

Development of the Rooikat armoured car commenced in 1976 when three 8x8 vehicles were built to verify platform concepts. This was followed by a further three vehicles which were built and evaluated by the South African Defence Force in the early 1980s.
These experimental development models (XDMs) consisted of (6 x 6) 22 tonne 76 mm, (8 x 8) 24 tonne 76 mm and (8 x 8) 32 tonne 105 mm armed concepts. The Rooikat was eventually developed from the (8 x 8) 24 ton 76 mm concept.
Full-scale development commenced in late 1985 with the vehicle first being unveiled in October 1988 as the Rooikat.
Five Advanced Development Models (ADMs) were completed in 1986/87 for extensive operational and technical evaluation trials. In 1987, work started on building four Engineering Development Models (EDMs) for user evaluation trials and also to confirm modifications that resulted from the troop trials with the Advanced Development Models.
First Rooikat vehicles were completed in 1989 with the vehicle becoming operational with the then South African Defence Force in 1990.

I think Rooikat would use domestic 35mm also used on the SPAAG

I am fairly confident it is the South African Denel/LIW GA35 35mm cannon, not the Bushmaster III.
IMHO it is the same gun as used on the twin ZA-35 twin 35mm SPAAG on Rooikat chassis and also related to LIW EMAK 35
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product3097.html
And keeping in mind apartheid ended roughly 1994 and there was an arms embargo on Souh Africa.

This says (translated using google):
"For explorers
Because the Rooikat has the engine behind, it has been possible to develop an infantry combat vehicle or armored transporter on the same platform. Not that it would not be possible ( see BTR-60 to BTR-90 ), but it is always necessary to assess the practicality of such a solution. However, it was possible to develop a reconnaissance vehicle armed with an automatic cannon.
There were not many adjustments. Both the hull and the tower are practically identical to Rooikat 76mm. Changes relate to the internal layout. The GA 35 cannon was built into the tower, the same weapon as the ZA-35 PL system. Since the cannon has an unplanned ammunition, the need for a charger has disappeared and the tower is only two-seater.
The exploration vehicle Rooikat 35 was developed primarily for export. The prototype was placed and the drawing documentation was ready for the stage of possible production start-up in the case of an order. So far, however, no interested party has found it.

Exploration version of Rooikat 35 with Rapid Fire GA 35
The Rooikat 35 / ZT-3 became the latest vehicle type that was derived from the reconnaissance version. The striking difference was the addition of a launching device for three ZT-3 Swift anti-tank missiles on the left side of the tower.
The ZT-3 missile is structurally and structurally very similar to the US missile BGM-71 TOW but differs from laser beam guidance. It uses the Semi-Automatic Command to Line Of Sight semi-automatic system , so the shooters just keep the target in the middle of the intentional cross.
The bullet has a simple cumulative head with a 680 mm armored armor of homogeneous Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA). With the development of explosive high-powered armor, a ZT-3B Ingwe has been developed, which has a tandem cumulative head with a 1000 mm RHA puncture and a digital autopilot. The container is the same, so it is possible to use the same firing device for Ingwe.
A bullet with a total weight of 28.5 kg has a maximum range of 5000 m. The manufacturer gives the probability of targeting to 95%. The fire firing diameter was to be nine bullets in the containers. This vehicle, however, remained only in the project phase and the prototype was not built."

On that cannon GA35 aka M35:

The GA35 multipurpose cannon is exceptionally rugged and simple to maintain. Optimised for simplicity and reliability, the system has only 200 components and can be dismantled without the use of any special tools.
The GA35 is gas operated, firing belted ammunition from an open breech position. The positively locked breech, mechanical firing pin and four installation positions enhance safety and versatility.
The cannon allows for single gas driven feeders with ammunition feed from three directions without additional parts or double gas driven feeders with first shot selection between different ammunition types.
http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.p...al-purpose-gun&catid=79:fact-files&Itemid=159

The 35 mm GA 35 cannon was originally designed by LIW, then part of the ARMSCOR Group and now part of the Denel Group, for the ZA-35 twin 35 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system.
It has also been fitted to the LIW eGLaS 35 single 35 mm towed anti-aircraft gun system, the first prototype of which was completed in 1992. The first production application will be for the LIW 35DPG dual-purpose twin barrel naval gun system for which the prime contractor is LIW.
The 35 mm GA 35 cannon utilises gas operation for both feed and bolt mechanisms and can be supplied with single or dual feed. It has a heavy barrel fitted with a perforated muzzle brake and fires standard NATO 35x228 mm ammunition including HEI, HEI-T, SAPHEI, API-T, PRAC and PRAC-T types.
The GA 35 utilises a locked breech mechanism with the receiver being of solid construction. The open breech mechanism serves as an important safety feature as it eliminates the danger of the self-ignition (cook-off) of ammunition between bursts.
When integrated with a gun controller, the cannon can be selected to fire single-shot or preprogrammed bursts which makes the cannon well suited for aerial as well as ground applications.
The linked ammunition is fed by either a single or double feeder system via flexible or fixed ammunition chutes with the latter being customised for the various applications of the weapon.
Compared to existing cannons of this type the GA 35 is claimed to be very reliable and have a low life cycle cost due to minimal maintenance requirements. No special tools are required for maintenance and the complete 35 mm GA 35 cannon only has some 200 parts.

Roikat IFV seems as unusual with front engine.
I would like to know what the caliber of gun was.25mm?

Aselsan Korhan with 35mm Turret

Aselsan Korhan very similar to rheinmetall lynx. We know that Turkish BMC and Rheinmetall are going to corporate.
Would it be product of new corporation.

I would like to know what the caliber of gun was.25mm?

20mm most likely. The turret is probably that also used on Ratel-20 and Eland-20
One 20mm gun, 2 x 7.62mm machine gun. Full protection agaisnt firing of small arms 7.62mm caliber, front protection against 12.7mm caliber and shell splinters.
