Default agricultural/

I'd say it's an agricultural tractor built from a Universal Carrier or T16(were T 16's riveted? this hull seems long to the join at the division plate) Like the previous two said the front of the hull has been un stitched at the division plate shortened, and flipped.(the rear end remains up the same way) The two lift/tow eyes are still there underneath.(along with the original crank handle fitting) Id guess the only steering would be via the brakes, and the drive axle is now the front of the vehicle.The power unit has been shifted to allow room for the transfercase(with PTO) The suspension units have been swapped end for end.
(Can someone enlighten me about T16 drivelines? Do they have a transfercase?)
