While I know nothing about the Alberta inspection process, I can say this about the Iltis (and some of it applies to other military vehicles as well).

The military tail lamps are not SAE approved. The latest LED versions are, but not the old plastic nor the metal versions from the mid 70s thru to present day. If they were certified, they would have the rating in the plastic of the lens.

Vehicles that new require side marker lights. The Iltis is missing some of those.

Windshields must be watermarked as AS1 glass (or AS10, but that it super heavy). The military often did not bother.

The upper balljoints of the Iltis are unusual in that there is a certain amount of up/down play allowed. No side play. A mechanic who is not used to them may call it on the up down play....you would have to show him the specifications in the manual.
