EDIT: Just saw TBM's post below mine, and... shit, you may be right, man. Either way, it's not a reuse of Civil War T'Challa, but... hmmm.

Along these same lines, does it look like Okoye (and, by extension, Nakia) might be extensive retools of Mantis? The pieces connect the same (I know, most BAFs follow the same general construction, but both Okoye and Mantis attach their legs at the ball-joint hip, rather than the thigh swivel like other BAFs), and their outfits, while very different, share a similar-enough general layout that I think it's possible.

Doesn't hurt that Mantis was a brand-new mold designed as a BAF, meaning Hasbro would want to milk it when possible.
Yeah as we've seen with Winter Soldier Cap, Hasbro will take the rare opportunity to reuse a movie mold and milk it for every last penny.
