Look's to be, I'd say maruti

chassis number should be on the driver's rear chassis if it's Indian, front chassis if jap...

the whole fiberglass back looks different to the normal maruti, window shape is heaps different & it doesnt' have the extra cab extension like the maruti tops.

Pretty certain thats a maruti stockman/gypsy. To me it DOES have the extra cab body.
Although the photo angle/resolution doesn't show it too well.
in pic#2 you can see the extra length behind the door as well as the rubbers/holes for the seatbelt stiffening wires through the cab back.
1litre grill and bonnet, fibreglass top and back.
And on the factory 29" rubber by the look of it also.
I haven't seen that tray before though, I'm guessing it's a maruti from 1992-1994?
As mentioned above, look for the chassis number on the drivers side rear outside chassis rail, about 300mm from the end.

I think it is maruti too but it looks to me that the back of the cab is in two pieces. The part nearest the door looks to me like the roll bar out of a soft top.

that is not your regular maruti. the fiberglass rear section is too narrow, the rear window is too big.
even the nt marutis had a little plastic flare.
the tray is the same as some of the early to mid 80s zook utes had. the seats have been swapped out of something as the marutis had no head rests and no maruti i have ever seen has had that electric fan :D

arhh your right. its the right depth for a maruti but the maruti fibreglass covers the pillar.

kinda cool to see these different ones pop up to pick them apart and gather fine details from a pic.
