The full width rear locker is identical to Carmichael builds! if it wasn't for the HCB mud flaps I'd not be sure about this one!

Ed: yes I agree. Confusing.

The B pillar and rear door treatment is typically HCB - quite different from the Carmichael D series design.

Although rather uncommon, the full width rear locker could have been a brigade special order, because this setup did offer some advantages. This L registration unit was a replacement for an earlier vehicle, which could also have had a full width rear locker - and the same configuration would have been familiar to crews operating the new unit...
