Was this the dry powder rescue unit.

Yes I believe it did carry dry powder. The Liverpool company John Kerr provided the unit and they were very much into the development of dry powder as an extinguishing media.

A similar appliance served at Jersey Airport in the Channel Islands and at least one more went to Liberia.

I have pics of all 3 of these Mogs. The Jersey Mog was J12417 and also had the bells fitted, but was equipped with roller shutters on the two large lockers and a hinged door on the rearmost locker only (it was also LHD and had a spotlight mounted ahead of the right-side cab door). The other Mog served at Roberts Field International Airport in the Republic of Liberia. Also LHD, it had hinged locker dooors as on the Manchester Moggy and carried a ladder on the roof, but lacked the low-mounted bells (don't know the reg). Although all three of these Mogs have the same style of bodywork, they all show slight differences as recorded above.

The Manchester Airport Unimog is undergoing a full restoration at Mochdre in north Wales. The cab is in the spray booth at the moment, the rest of the bodywork is finished and back on the chassis

I don't think there was a RHD back then.
