Looks like an 45S Bandeirante or something close to it. Interestingly these are made with mercedes engines, thus the OJ designator instead of FJ, BJ or HJ. EDIT: Looks like I found the listing on mud, its an OJ55LP-2BBL.
These Bandeirantes were kinda mutts, they were license built in brazil and the quality control was...less stringent. Toyota was a little embarrassed when they finally went to close down the production and realized how...umm...innovative the plant was becoming with “improvements ”. Johnathan Ward tried to buy all the spares and even the molds but Toyota insisted they be destroyed.

Oddly, it’s got a Mercedes engine.

I saw one in real life. It was so alternate universe I was too stunned to get out my camera. They’re beautifully proportioned and I very much want one. Gotta be pretty rare in the US.

The proportions are odd on this unique Yota.
