Either that or the lighting in the shot is throwing some very strange shadows.

I would say that there is a good chance that the Lynx on the left , with the flattend bin, is the one that went to the CWM.

When we updated the restoration work done in the late 80's we had to have a new front bin and rear fender top bins made. The replacement made during the first restoration for the front was a bit inaccurate and made from galvanized ducting. The rears were missing all together.

It's a little interesting that the motor in the CWM Lynx has a Greek rebuild tag on it from the late 60's iirc and it had a steering wheel from an M3 Scout Car with Greek graffiti cut into it. Both are still on it as part of its history.
