This one is a kind of mystery to me. It has an old International Harvester-style cab, but it looks like the chassis comes from an Army M930 series truck (with CTIS ! )...Not talking about the bus body in the cargo bed ! (Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada)

That fake Bradley makes no sense, even on the 113 the drivers hole is on the left side. Am I seeing things wrong?

It is not based on an M113, but a British FV432, which has right-hand drive. It is basically the Brit equivalent to an M113.
