Regardless, if it were closer, I'd have it home.

Strange why someone went to all the trouble to make this, does not look like a military prototype, as 4x4 would be expected which it is not and looking at wheel stud pattern it is not a heavy duty rear axle. Engine looks like a diesel, and am wondering if it is one of the early 2 litre Rover diesels. Tried zooming the pic but not clear enough. Certainly not wartime as I originally thought.
Front bumper does look a bit L/R.
