Roden kit nr 807 (or 808 for a "late" version) is the straight bus (with bus interior) and maybe that would be more suitable for an evacuation diorama.

I think one major difference is the recessed spare wheel holder on the late version.

The command/office version will be a nice addition to the stash though I like that roof-rack

Slight correction:

The bus was built on a specialized extra long and lowered Blitz frame.

I would add the generator trailer to this offering and the diaorama possibilities would be amazing.
