I love this one! I wonder what the story is behind the paintjob? "We had nearly finished painting but then we had to rush to a forest fire and while we were there someone stole the bucket of paint ..."
My guess is they acquired a new truck and bolted on the equipment from the old, already repainted, truck.

Looking at the size of the load they carry, I guess a few extra quintals of armor plates wouldn't make much difference
Sometimes the new owners were more imaginative. Here are more examples of custom cabs :

The MAZ-7907 was originally intended to be a millipede launcher chassis for the mobile ground missile complex of the 'Tsellina-2' ICBM. Only two were ever built; both of them are still at the MAZ factory (Minsk, Belarus), with one unit being cannibalized to keep the other running (true for 2012).

There are ways around this but I think they all involve storing a copy of the image somewhere else ....
