It looks to be painted on canvas though, so potentially a photo of a painting commissioned for the walls of a boardroom somewhere to depict the illustrious history of the company. You can just make out on the bottom right that it was signed

If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Orebro Bil & Traktor ABS U25 from Sweden, this looks to be E1A powered but also fitted with a Bolinder engine and digger configuration.
