Dave,
The pic that Les showed, was for a CS8, but the compressor was also fitted to C4 and C8 such as yours. It was the registration details that I unearthed, that made me think it was one these versions, ie Mobile plant, this would not have been allocated to an ordinary GS truck. My guess is, that originally this was what it was, and the diesel was fitted for economy while in use. When it went for preservation, the Compressor was removed. As I said before, look for some kind of large power take off on the transfer box, also in the floor of the body, a new section inserted, as the compressor was fixed straight to the chassis, through a large aperture in the floor.
There were around 300 C8 4x4 compressor versions made, on several contracts.
