Yes Grant,
The shed was too dark & the day too wet to slide underneath & have a good look, but from what I could see, the chassis did not appear to be stretched. I was unable to see the engine number and the data plate number to see if the numbers matched. Also, the rear tray appears to be a machinery body... which wouldn't fit on a S chassis...
My guess is that the instrument panel has been replaced at one stage and the data plate came from the donor vehicle.
Like I said, I should get a better look at it in a couple of weeks.
