This one seems to have breathing apparatus in the rear area rather than generator, cable spool, transformer and fuel.

Yes, like many placeholders this FuKW 78 has been modified. The modifications are as quoted by John.

In service at hazmat extinction platoon of Plön administrative district. Amazingly based at an army ammo depot together with a brother (makes sense).

That is also a good photo showing the flaired tailgate lip to assist with easy opening. This is a feature of the FuKW78's and the TEL80's

... and a cable gland.

The 78 half-panels are without the addition 'TEL' by the way, just named FuKW 78.
