I can't see the fuel tanks in the picture....even though tanks can be swapped, a FAT would originally have had the larger fuel tanks, while the F15A used the smaller ones.

Yes, it does seem to have the extra strengthening for the winch gear at the rear of the chassis.....but than again....this could also be retrofitted along with the winch(?). A FAT would also have the fairleads on the front bumper and also the little hooks for the scotches fitted to the side of the chassis near the leaf spring attachment.

Fitting a winch and helper springs to an F15A chassis would have made it an ideal towing vehicle for a garage.....which to me, is the most likely explanation.
