Default Ah, the joys of tired photos

Right then...

I'm not seeing anothing in that shot that isn't standard CCKW, including the early-ish hard cab with hatch ring.

The confusion seems to be the chassis in front of the camera, which is in fact two chassis. The bottom chassis is facing the camera and has the engine in it with conventional pedal position as already noted, but lying on top of that is another chassis pointing away from the camera (and appearing to lie and an angle or twisted) If you look at the far right of the top chassis you can see the hydrovac mounting and lines.

Assembly of these trucks from new was never this confused, badly laid out, badly handled, and with all the different stages confused, so I reckon this is a small scale rebuild / salvage setup
