This is going to be a two-point puzzle. Identify the purpose of this truck, tell me where it was used, its approximate year of build and name its engine.

The huge exposed radiator makes me think it's British or German, but this would be just a guess.

None of the three countries mentioned (RUS, UK, D)

Not a Liaz and technically it is not a make - at least that is what the caption suggests
