The Iranian manufacturer of Mercedes trucks was called Khawar until 1999 (after this film was made), when it was merged with Iran Khodro's bus division to form Iran Khodro Diesel. As far as I can see, listing these models under "Iran National" or "Irannational" would be incorrect.

In fact, Iran Khodro Diesel still uses Khawar as the model name for its classic Mercedes trucks:

Since longer time I have doubts what make we should use. Ok the Irannational is wrong in case of the trucks, but since they are still using the Mercedes badges it would be maybe more correct to use this make (same like in case of the Renaults made by FASA)... Especially that they must still cooperate with Germans, as there is Actros in their production program, same with buses.
