Royston, do you by chance mean the ACMAT truck? Used by Special Forces. I have only ever seen 2 pics, one in Afghanistan, the other in European scheme.
The Irish Army has them. There were 2 at War and Peace Revival.

I'd go with Acmat too - as Dave mentioned they are/were used in small numbers by our special forces teams (mostly as 'mother ships', carrying stores and supplies for the lighter patrol vehicles). I suspect they've been replaced by Coyote-type vehicles by now.
The Acmat is a French vehicle that has been in service for many years. It was designed to replace the old WC-52 Dodge that the French had been using from WWII right up to the mid 70s I think. It has many of the same characteristics.
Regards, John
