Hope that helps

All honesty I think most vans at some stage have been toyed with over the last
40yrs or so and nobody knows if if some are a genuine thing
Any particular statement you feel is confusing? While this information up there is good, in this case it doesn't help at all. It could theoretically be the rarer XU3 variant, but it could just be a standard V8. Bolt in bits aren't good identifiers but some of the overlooked details like the wheel winch or black door handles can make positive identification more likely.
