Well, the only thing I have left for sure is that it's not the internet

The pictures were found on the internet, as were the details of what it is.

Looks like an improvised-armoured infantry-carrying truck.

But that brings up the question as to why 6x and 4x versions exist.

I was gonna guess a fuel truck......

I guess you've all had long enough to think - the pictures show variants of the Australian Armour Protection Kit (APK) developed in the 1950s.

See here for details. I found it interesting in these days of MRAPs and other armoured truck proposals (for places like Iraq), that the idea is in no way new.

Actually I think I can top that.

Just take your pick.
