Was the unique feature being tested related to the steering system?

I want know what was its most uncommon feature and which model was tested with this "mule"
The uncommon feature being tested appeared on a subsequent production model and we are to identify that feature and the subsequent production model on which it appeared, correct?

You need to tell me what was so uncommon on this "mule" and which model was build using this "mule"

this feature wasn't quite used in a production model
it was a mule with some unique possibilities
and it was not R129
