I recieved this photo from our member ARLOW up in British Columbia. They got it from a friend but have no source of origin so it is a bit of a mystery.
This appears to be a military spec'd Snow Trac ST4, it has the customary pintel hitch in the back used by NATO forces on other Snow Tracs. It also has the outside fuel tank and two spare track sections mounted to the front fenders ahead of the headlights, again typical of the military units. One intersting thing I have not seen before, at least not on military units, is the exhaust stack running up the back of the unit and exhausting at the roof line.
There is some sort of designation on the back. The letters are RABV. The A has an umlaut over it, so it might be from one of the Germanic speaking nations? Any clue on what that lettering means? Or what language it could be?
A few other interesting points, there are two cylinders on the drivers side, any clue what could be in those? There is a revolving warning beacon that appears to be mounted on a pipe on the drivers side of the unit, a large spare tire, and a white thing that might be a sled or carrier of some sort?
Could this be a military ambulance?
