Default AFV driver's hood ID sought

An acquaintance has this in his garage, he is an ex tanker and thinks he recognises most things but this one eludes him. He has never seen one like it before.

Any help gratefully received

Hi

Can't argue with that.

Maybe a common design. Maybe dimensions are different (or even the same) for the different vehicles? Or just bad sales research?
