Looks great, very straight. I was looking at that 2200 GVM earlier today as well, but wondered if thats particularly conclusive? I was wondering if the headlining is factory, because why would you want a commercial built with a headlining on the heavier chassis. (Not that I'm suggesting you'd want to pull the headlining out at the back to check, they tear very easy and are a job for a bit of an expert hand to put back right, maybe not much point without the missing plate either).
Theres maybe some other pointers, eg the GTS mirrors are on it (thats a detail many replications miss), but its easy enough to fit them if you can get hold of them, the dash looks like its has silver trim, but again could be a re-fit - is it white or yellow needle? You could check to see if the GTS loom is on it, or if its been messed with. These were getting harder to get a while back.
The paint looks pretty good! Does it really need a respray?
It looks like its had one at some point reasonably recently, (you mentioned getting it 'stripped' at some point) if you really do want to do a test, you could try rubbing back a small patch on the inside of the lower tailgate with wet and dry, that should all have been body colour once (please correct me someone if Im wrong here). Blasting wont show you this of course, and if it's been blasted at some pointbefore, you may not find much. Inside of the lower tailgate's maybe a good test area for that reason, might just be lucky. I wouldnt use stripper!
