All other FAT variants have the normal mudguards....
But that is because most likely India was supplied with chassis only, and had to make up all the sheet metal parts like mudguards, cab, etc. in relatively simple workshops. The cab parts are most likely made of sheet metal because it looks too thin for armour plating. Also, in those days, they would most likely have bolted or riveted the armour. And there is no armour in front of the radiator.
