Also the blade appears to be V shaped but I supose that could be an illusion caused by the camera angle - what do you guys think?

Noel..Looks like it is a de-mining blade..
Once the mines are dug up..the upper blade could be lowered to trap the mine and move it ,giving some protection to the operator//..
Just a guess ....
