[MV] M43 question

Hi and Happy New Year!
We have an M43 "ambulance" here, which isn't. The interior is pretty much
stripped, but is has a tag with the following info screwed to the wall:

TRUCK, COMPUTER
STANDBY, 3/4 TON
Manufactured by Detroit Arsenal Mar 1959
For
US Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratories
Fort Belvoir, Virginia

The driver's side has the spare tire mount and a "Jumper cable" receptacle
with 4 prongs.
The interior of the van body has several 110vac duplex outlets, a circuit
breaker panel and there are 3 flourescent light fixtures in the ceiling.
There is a data tag on the operation of the personnel heater.

The "ID" tag on the dash is gone.

Any information on this vehicle would be helpful.

Thanks,
Bjorn
MVPA19212
Meadows of Dan, Virginia

Is this the body type with the three opening panels on the
left-hand-side and a single opening panel on the right-hand side?
