Does anyone know where this barndoor is located and who owns it. Also what company added the rear roll up window or was this a factory option for this one?. What year is this one?

The Red Bus is a factory panel that was coach built into a kombi with rolldown rear window. It is identified as a factory panel bus by the vents near the roofline on the rear panel.
