Interesting S11A 109in with military lighting/bumpers and very unusual window hardtop.
Possibly something special for border guards?

Agreed 100%. It's a weird one.

Going down a Hong Kong rabbit hole .
Thought HK may have had a Border Guard force like British Frontier Force in West Germany (who wore naval type uniforms and used army Land Rovers).
HK does not seem to have had any seperate Border Force at this time and guarding was done by the British army.

Maybe they really wanted a Land Cruiser Troop Carrier like this :)

Were there Customs & Excise or similar anti-smuggling (police?) functions on the border??
