So I assume this is a special body sitting on a TR2/3 chassis. Is the body a one off or is it a modified propriatry body like a Heron.

Your assumption is correct; the example pictured sits on a TR2 chassis.
I don't know how many were made, but the body was available for mounting on any chassis which fitted.

Was it made by a company better known for other bodies eg Heron?
