It looks like the DPRK has produced a heavily upgraded version of the M-2020

Did the North Korean's get a chance to examine the M-1's captured in Ukraine?

Probably, but rather unlikely to the point of getting one to study themselves.
Though, to be fair, as number of them in Russian hands grows, it's now quite likely PRC and DPRK will get some.

This is probably successor to Songun-915.

Not likely to really get much out of that. I mean, those were just M1A1s, no fancy armor. About the only thing they might get out of it is the ballistic computer.

Seems quite possible. Can you elaborate your thesis?

Worth noting that both DPRK and PRC made their new gen MBTs from pirated t-72 solutions.
While it's unlikely PRC will get all that much from 40-years old platform anymore, North Korea only relatively recently managed to catch up to world-level MBTs. They probably can find many solutions interesting.
