Here's an article about an AEC Matador-based bus recovery vehicle that was converted from a military vehicle after the war. it strikes me that this could be an inspiration for swords-into-ploughshares whiffs:

what they bought was a (possibly) a Matador rolling chassis - maybe with an original engine (can't see much of the original vehicle) plus a chopped bus body ...... lots of work to make a real AEC Matador out of it again.

I don't think they intend to make a military Matador out of it: the idea is to restore it as a bus recovery vehicle.
