the beaver looks to have been filled in or smoothed. i cant see the number plate recess . bog?
they rust badly there hence the move towards full rear bumpers

Looks like it has a catch on the middle lower tailgate area.

Yep you have to be a member, most Vanners here are.

Yeah I reckon it had the full gate and the beaver is modified. I'm not sure about your theory of rust and full bars though!
People absolutely loathed HQ bumperettes (especially custom Van builders) I'd say this Sandman had a one piece tailgate, custom beaver and full bumper bar.
