Here's an interesting note about this one, which may or may not be helpful: I saw this vehicle when it was new and witnessed it being put to use for the first time.

Sort of, but with fewer capabilities and to serve a more limited purpose.

I suppose there's no reason to be cryptic on this point. This was a camera truck only, not a fully-equipped offsite broadcast vehicle. The camera signals were relayed to another vehicle in the area.

The following must be identified in order to solve the puzzle and earn the point:

a) What was it called?
c) Who built it?
d) Who commissioned it?
e) For what specific purpose was it built?
