ReZEL Defensor B is looking good, not sure if an MG will be released for 5500yen.
Looks like you're right: on
GundamGuy's Marasai Runner Review, parts that are obvious joints are on the same runners as obvious outer armor. There is also a polycap runner.
I'd have to compare closely, but my guess is they probably salvaged a 1990's MG frame for this. I can't imagine why they'd use, say, the Zaku II rather than the Zaku II 2.0, but perhaps they didn't think the 'sai was worth the investment?
