My guess is it was sold originally on a Blitz, but the joker who purchased it wanted another body type (tray?) so ditched the workshop body. Good that you will not have to alter it back to the blitz configuration, and it also means the bolt holes in the floor should align with a given Blitz WW2 machinery type.

The wheel well cavity is under the floor boards and has a brace welded in, its dimensions are easily recognizable as the original main bearers are still there and only one is shortened to fit the wheel well and ones ether side are full length and the original front and back of a blitz wheel well. A Studebaker would have needed 2 or more bearers cut.
It still has Vietnam era signage, electrical switch board, power points and wiring. I don't think the Inter F1 needed wheel wells so they were cut out and boarded over. The spare wheel cavity behind the driver has been replaced by a extra section of wire netting, using more modern fittings, but the top weld has broken where it was joined to the original wire netted side.
