That late fifties Cab 13 does look a little odd with the new engine (?), round fuel tanks and why would it have a new roof and windshield? It's hard to see, but it also looks like the cab floor is sightly wider than the cab itself. Could it be a former Bofors CMP?

Also there seems to be some sort of frame extension at the front end.

I would lay money on it being re-engined with a Perkins P6, a 6 cyl. diesel, hence the longer nose.

If you look closely, there is the Perkins badge on the grille
