Not a normal find in J, but I've got a book sentence mentioning a few were exported there and equipped as mobile offices, but no further info. Why does it grow a roof beacon for eps 3 and 5? And why is the beacon mount red in ep3 and white in ep5?

The "aerial" is, I guess, the parking pole commonly found on jp-spec vehicles (not sure if that's mandatory or more of a helpful feature on narrow streets), but it could mean an entirely different thing in the older days. -- Last edit: 2020-07-07 05:03:04
