I don't think the roll bar is factory. Back in the days when that truck left the factory health and safety didn't really consider a roll bar necessary. It is nice, however, and provides a level of prtection for those roof off days. IIRC correctly the only factory roll bar was a military item for the 90/110 that people retrofit to their series. It, however, mounts to the body cappings.
The top is an Ifor Williams which is very popular with British farmers to keep the sheep dog in and the hay dry when tooling around the farm. It's designed to mate to the back of a truck cab to give that classic farm truck look. They are well made as there is a video out there of a sheep dog taking a ride when a farmer's 90 takes of down a field on it's own. After several rolls and a thoroughly knackered truck the dog jumps out ready to go. I'd keep it and get the truck cab for a unique looking series in the US. Oh, he also makes rather nifty galvy trailers too.
Oh and cool truck by the way.
