Seems to be some articulated tipper. Reminds a bit Kockums, but not enough.

and actually I think this actually IS a Volvo , see also that slightly raised roof section and time period fits too

Good one! Wouldn't expect Volvo of this type here (even if it seems to be the most stereotypic brand of the articulated tipper :D )

My knowledge about such vehicles is rather minimal. If there is anything, what makes it similar to the Grove I think we can give it this brand. Especially, that the model is still "unknown" - so it won't dissapear from the list of vehicles to identify.

I was refering perhaps that if you still have this DOC you might try to see what's written on it in some frame and if it starts with G its highly likely a Grove

The camera is in the move and it is always visible from this distance. :/

OK I see , then I suggest Grove unknown cos it by far the most likely option and I stumble on something which looks closer I report it (but I highly doubt it, Grove RT-series are leaders in the rough terran crane segment with that design)
