A barndoor panel van was recently found in Sweden. Has anyone out there seen reinforcements like this before? It looks kind of original or?

Can it have been a ladder van?

Nice bus.
The reinforcement steel looks like the same profile as the truck canopy hoops. Is it?

Certainly looks factory Smile theres blue overspray up by the vents aswell so looks like it was a primer delivered panel and the reinforcements were in before it was painted.
