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

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

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

    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.
