What are the US/UK equivalents of the Bushmaster IMV?

It would probably be one of the many iterations of the HMMWV (Humvee).

That's quite a bit smaller I think, and I can't imagine it offers the same IED protection?

I don't think you'd consider the Saxon of the same class as the Bushmaster. The big thing that really distinguishes the Bushmaster is it's mine/IED protection. See the MRAP link I posted.

the MRAP will be the closest thing once they are deployed, but for now this is probably the closest comparable vehicle:
Stryker

The cougar is probably the closest to the role. But of course, the m113 APC, Stryker, and Bradleys are all used for armored troop transport.
