Did Carmichael refurb it or build a new cab. Cab looks odd?

JOD905N for searching -
No other Protector I can find has this flat fronted cab. I suspect a rebuild. It clearly is badged Carmichael even if they were not responsible for the original vehicle build.

Checking again C44 (see post above 25/06/2014) is a designation of a Unipower chassis introduced in 1974.

So Unipower C44/Chubb RIV.
I think it was later designated the Unipower RE4 and they had a weird reverse rake front. There was also a RE6 (6x6)
