Just bumping this up because of a post by John McGillvray in the "History & Equipment" Section - Life Magazine topic
It's one of the Life photos and shows a lorry mounted excavator in British use in Italy

The cab looks similar to a thew but I suppose it could have been "aquired" locally.
Any ideas guys??
