Calle,

Steve O. from Australia answered this correctly. It is the Type 815
Country Buggy originally desgined for the Australian Army. None were
ever delivered to the army. Instead a small number was produced for
domestic consumptions and later additonoal ones made for some
Southeast Asian Markets. I found a few during my search for a
fabricators for Vanagon (T3) custom bumpers.
