The only downgraded thing in Egyptian Abrams is lack of DU armor. But still very capable tank. They have an excellent 120-mm with excellent KEW-A2 rounds.Downgraded Abrams? Meh, I don't think they are a very serious threat.
For modern heat seeking munitions there is no any difference. They can perfectly lock on hulls heat too.They are very vulnerable to heat-seeking munitions (thanks to its gas-turbine engine).
The main downside of turbine is that it requires much more fuel and therefore much more vulnerable fuel supplies.
Never seen those, anyway thee is no big difference between DU and tungsten.I think the Merkava IV does use DU shells
