Default Oman - remnants of a truck in the desert

...quite some time ago since I have last been here in the MLU-forum. After moving back to Europe from Northern Africa, my chances to find truck wrecks in the desert have simply dwindled.

However - I was lucky this spring and got the chance to spend some days in the Rub' al-Khali in the Sultanate of Oman. Pleeeenty of sand and dunes...

...and some remnants of a truck. More or less only the cargo bay but luvkily with the manufacturer's plate still on it.

There was no date visible and a quick Google search about "Reynolds Boughton" only brought me to the RB 44 truck - which was obviously not carrying this cargo bay.

Would anybody have an idea what truck this could have been?

I rather enjoyed reading, The Empty Quarter, about that piece of isolate desert.
