Pull the caps off and show us what the plugs look like. Most likely plugs for whatever trailer(s) it was towing.

Here it is without cap:

The second outlet it is jam and about broken as it is plastic

The 12 hole is for a trailer plug. Adapters are available to convert the round plug to the common flat trailer connector. The other?

'95 R.R. Classic LWB
'76 Series III Hybrid 109

the big plastic plug looks like a power plug for a military radio trailer.

Yes! Then it is confirm mine is military one

The connector on the right with the screw on metal cap is to provide power for a communications trailer. It can handle more power than the normal trailer connector.

I noticed that the connector is the right size to fit a U.S. recessed male mains plug. I bought one, gutted it an replaced the plug inside with a male receptacle. Now I can use a regular extension plug to plug my Land Rover to house current. The receptacle is connected to a 3 stage battery charger which is connected to one or both batteries, my dual voltage refrigerator and a dual outlet inside the truck.

The rear cross member doesn't look mod, not sure if export military rovers had the tapered cross member.

I think the left side looks tapered because it's pushed in. In a different pic, the left side seems tapered, but the right side looks rectangular (plus no PTO hole):



That and the military style bumper overriders in the rear plus the evidence of a round bridge plate on the front right wing along with a pioneer-kit rear tailgate seems to indicate a former military rover, though I doubt the military made the clutch master cylinder access door on the top of the left wing.

Looks like Mil Ball Jar tail lamps

There is a small door access for clutch master cylinder also there are holes in fornt bumber as shown in below link

Bridge plate

That is absolutely a bridge plate, (used to be there) shadow. I have the original tub for my ex-mod 2a, and the holes for the trailer plug were in a different configuration than yours.

Looks like they'd have been using British issue supplies in the period this was built but I don't know if one can assume that this was made for a MOD contract. It could have come from another foreign military contract and just ended up where it is now.

Anyway here is a pic from the Aden Emergency:
