The white one is interesting. It is an early pattern van box (round wheel wells) on a commercial truck. I don't think it is an ambulance as it has the power access panel on the side, although again, since it's an early box, I can't say for certrain.

It may well be an OSCAR. I remember seeing them as M152s back in the day, so perhaps a commercial equivalent was made rather than using up a more expensive SMP 5/4 ton.

The truck itself is a little later than the 5/4 ton as evidenced by the horizontal marker lights on the fender. It also has a much lighter bumper than the 5/4 ton and no bush guard.

I have to wonder how they power the gas heater up on the box. They were typically in 24volt, although they were available commercially in 12 volt.
