Mack DM600 nose and wheels. You could do this in 1/25th scale with the Ertl/AMT kit and a resin nose from American Industrial Truck Models.

Fairly clear it's Israeli; maybe for troop transport.

According to the caption from the museum website (thanks to Israel ), this bus was built in 1947 and belonged to the Drom Yehuda Cooperative. A Comet diesel engine was installed in 1966 when the bus was converted to a mobile workshop and served at the Muhlis Garage in Haifa. It based on a 1945 White truck chassis.

US military had these armored buses in Iraq and in A'stan. They were/are called Rhinos.
