I think "Charabanc" is a generic name for such devices. The ID of vehicle source and coachbuilder is spot-on. Well done!

Yes, it refers to the 'bank of chairs' (i.e. benches) which were often bolted on to flat-bed lorries to convert them into passenger transport for weekend days out!

The word coming from the French, it would originally spell "char à banc" or "char à bancs", so meaning rather a carriage with benches.

Actually yes, now that you mention that you're absolutely right!  It's the benches that were bolted on for the weekend trips.
