Welcome do you have photos of the vehicle. Most military vehicles will have NATO part numbers scattered all over. 1234 00 5678911 RAF 12mt 5678911 army and navy similar. Are there any black vin plate on seat base or check removable seat base front and rear. Pending on the colour originality RAF blue grey NATO green or naval blue and invisible paint for SAS and SBS. Then your vehicle will have a release date from military service not off the production line which the Vin and Chassis number. Have a look at the engine is this pale blue green. Is your axle diff painted red yellow or white. Does your lights have Infrared switch on the dash are there any tyre pressure markings on the wheel arches 28 30.
Do you have a NATO hitch for a trailer and eyelets for the front bumper. Hopefully someone can improve your search.
 
Thanks for your reply, I'll check this out, but yes it has a white rear axle & convoy light switch, vin plate has the number 46-KC-31 which I tried but no luck!!

They might be allocated vehicle registration to the camp base or station. Mid eighties they dropped the plates to a civilian type, because of the Irish liked taking pop shots on the mainland. 😏
The RAF changed from grey blue to NATO green with a yellow stripe, to give the impression we go faster than the rest🫤 Airport vehicle was canary Yellow, Red chequered types.
Be worthwhile trawling through old military photos of similar period via a web search. My guess you could be lucky in seeing if your own there.
 
I know it came out of military use in the year 2000, as you mentioned about the colours, I have noticed some bits of yellow around the rain water gutter area I enclosed a pic.
