Very rare Carawagon - anyone ever seen one?

I recently had to upload and re-post a lot of the Carawagon brochure scans to the forum, and noticed this one, which I hadn't really noticed before.
At first glance it looks like a lot of other LWB Carawagons, but there are subtle differences.
A translucent fibreglass roof panel and a sunroof over the cab would have made it very light and airy, even with the roof down, I would think.
The bed arrangement is the same as one of my projects (1972) and one just being restored by RobW on here, with a single down each side, though mine will also make a full width double.
I suppose it's one of those we'll never see in the flesh - a real shame we don't have any factory records to show how many might have been made, compared to the 'standard' alloy roof version.
Cheers,
Robin.
