Uhh, check the roof out on this thing!

Looks like some sort of camper conversion. Maybe the canvas that joins the roof halves is rotted away?
That raised roof helps for game spotting on safari in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, etc). Raise the roof, passengers stand up in the shade, and look at the pretty lions, leopards, hippos, etc. Abercrombie and Kent originated that on Land Rovers before most of you were born.

ps I like the rover, it'd be good for Grouse huntin, no need to get out of the car, (with a good dog).

Oh dang that's cool......
The Dormobile is the most common Rover camper conversion, which has the roof hinged along the right side, which tilts up, having a tent open like an accordion, with bunks above and the seats also convert into sleepers... http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Dormobile/pictures.html
Then there's a Carawagon, which lifts vertically like this one, but it is arched from side-to-side. http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Carawagons.htm
Those are, by far, the most well known ones. But, there are others.

The Park-Ranger: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/parkRanger.htm
And the Explorer: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/LandRoverExplorer.htm
But I've never seen one like this one, this is cool.... I wonder if it's a different kind of a Park-Ranger, some variant of theirs, or if this is a totally different critter.....
This is a great find! Yeah, it's different, but, dang, it's one more kind of camper version out there..... neat-o.....

the serial number is correct for a NADA version - they all start with 343...
for the US, they (811 of them) were imported as a 1967 model year.
can't tell from the pics if the roof vents still are in place or not.
for sure it is different.
