Very bad a$$ looking whatever it's used for.
Thanks for the link
It *was* used to haul people. It's obsolete now. Basically a Unimog with the cab and bed substituted for a drivers cubicle (open on the top) and a bin with seats for 10. Five facing each side. The u-shaped cutouts at the top of the sides of the bin were for rifles theoretically - though troops would seldom actually shoot from them. The lower sides of the bin were steeply v-shaped to defect land mine blasts.
