Hi Jakko
there are similarities in the modified/updated vehicle model, as well as crew headdress. Have a look at the coveralls with and without hood and revisit the images? Regrets I have not identified the source or description.
I recall other images of BESA guns repurposed into universal carriers: New Zealand Māori troops comes to mind.
