Nice looking rig. How much? Is it titled in the US? Those plates look French or maybe Niederlandisch?

British plates.

If I remember correctly in 1963 a letter was added to the end of the license plate i.e. A = 1963 B = 1964 The suffix A and B were used only in Greater London.

In 1965 the letter C was used across the UK. So the plate TGA 434G was registered in 1968.

The first three letters of the plate hold the code to where the vehicle was first registered. The first letter is random and the second two "GA" are the code for a county registration office.

For example a vehicle with the first 3 letters C”WN” was registered in Cardiff, where as a registration starting in D”TH” was registered in Swansea. I don't know were GA is.

A vehicle registered in 1968 would be easily registered legally here in the USA due to it's age.

Mike we used to call them Safari Roofs. A second skin lifted up above the original roof by about 2 inches using bolts and spacers.

It works really well to reduce the heat in the cab.

C'mon, guys, a simple 'yes' would do. Is it really that critical? :)

Doesn't matter in the slightest, what the double roof is called. I've lived is so many countries where the same thing is given a different name that it all blends in to one.

I've even mastered the art of speaking English as if it was four different languages, depending on which part of the world I'm in.
