I would use the Japanese domestic name. Before trade between Japan and North Korea was killed off by Japanese sanctions, North Korean organisations bought new and used vehicles in Japan, via trading companies run by ethnic Korean businessmen. |

Seems like Nissan Atlas. Taiwan use the name Homer. HK use the name Cabstar. Atlas is the name for Japanese domestic market... |

Back in 2012, when I had been in the DPRK, the JDM-vehicles, I've seen, were mainly from the late 70ies, not much younger. |

I'm wondering about the location. It may be the street southbound, direction Panmunjom. |

@ingo: We have examples of younger JDMs in North Korea: /vehicle_429217-Toyota-Hiace-Regius-1997.html I remember defector news sourcing saying there have been campaigns to remove Japanese cars from Pyongyang because they are politically embarrassing. |

That's rare for NK. The newer cars (from the 90ies onwards) there were German, US-American or -the newest- Chinese. |
