We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
CITROEN 2 CV6 SPECIAL 1987
Registration number: D569 MKN
Body type: Van
Colour: Blue
Date of first registration: February 1987

,,, which seems a bit scrambled. This seems better - "Pearl’s transportation of choice is a Citroen 2CV type AK Fourgonnette (likely an AKS 400, but we can’t confirm; tag D569MKN)"......

So AKS 400 agreed??

Not if really a 1987, it was phased out since 7 years then :think:

If it's RHD, I'd agree conversion likely as we never had RHD vans after Slough builds ended in 1950s. Also it has very late pimple indicators on front wings, which were 87-ish onwards.

Yes it's RHD indeed:

In one of the photos you can see 'Citroen 2CV Villevan' above the offside cabin window, which I think is a clue to its origins, Villevans being a Bury St Edmunds based company specialising in 2CV Van conversions (https://www.villevans.co.uk/conversions.htm). Also, their conversions seem to feature a separate cab roof panel, like Pearl's van and unlike the factory Fourgonnettes?

So presumably it was a UK-registered RHD 2CV that was converted into a van.
