For a point, who designed this commercial vehicle, and for which vehicle company?

Is it for Citroen as the ribbing looks like the Type H van ?

I can see what you mean, but not a Citroen project.

I think it may have been for Mercedes, perhaps a Sprinter van proposal?

Those ribs remind me a little of the Heuliez Simca 937 - any connection?

Leyland ?
Close enough, as just pre-British Leyland (i.e. BMC). So, now Locked to you to complete the puzzle and tell me who designed this proposed panel van?
