Exactly, one could say it is the French version of the US Mule platform carrier. Permanent four wheel drive, empty weight 620 kg, maximum weight 1400 kg (!). The French Army ordered 218 in 1978.

While searching further, I found I should have said Citroën components:
Engine: Mehari (which is fitted turned 90 degrees, by the way)
Gearbox: Ami 8
Front and rear diffs: Ami Super
Steering: HY
Suspension arms and wheels: GS
