This appears to be the first Widebody Barth - approximate date range: 1981-1982

What is it?

Could that have been a Civil Defence or news vehicle? The rear end could have held a dish antenna for communications.

I think you're right. Look at how they made the first widebody bumpers. They just cut them in half and then put a piece of diamond plating over the cut. This vehicle also appears to be on a P32 Chassis.

It's also a possible SWAT vehicle or first responder platform.

I'd put a hot tub, some sand and a couple of Palm trees back there and just have traveling paradise.

What about a helipad, then you would always have an escape vehicle.......
