Probably. Looks like a Barkas van.

Late SIII, I think. LOTS OF GOOD PARTS ON IT STILL, DAMMIT.

Seems low-option, though. Permanent rear windows, no hubs.

Hard to tell the difference between a III and a late IIa when they're this stripped, without looking at the windshield hinges. Low-res, but I think this one has III windshield hinges - plus the pancaked version of the "Deluxe" hood I think became standard on IIIs late in the run (wouldn't have otherwise been on a low-option), and the windshield isn't a split-type - it's more modern like a Defender. Put that all together, it spells late III.
