Interesting Photo - anybody care to guess what the body was originally - Gin Palace?.
It would seem that the outside skin of the offside of the body is missing.
Nigel - is it possible to read the sign above the tent entrance?

Couple of things caught my eye in this pic. First the colour scheme looks pretty strange. Is it a variation of the Caunter scheme? Second, am I right in thinking that the cab is only half-width?
