OLSR just use IP forwarding.

You don't need NAT between OLSR nodes. You might need NAT to use your DSL 
uplink on a mesh network, because your DSL provider gives you only a single 
(IPv4) address.

So device A will need NAT (not if you are using IPv6 and get a complete /64 
network or more), the rest will not.
