They ALL look like that--all the van ones. truth be known you have hit nail on the head. Dyna is really a cab n chassis. then flatdeck or futon body or whatever is fitted. In that case--yep hiace body with a bit of panel steel to join .--all factory.

I have seen a few of those around for a while now, wasn't there an earlier model Dyna van that didn't have the hiace rear? I think the wierdest are the triple cab Dynas.

Guessing they weren't exported new. Some of the jap market stuff is totally weird, but fun! It actually appears a damn good truck/van, brilliant if you had a crew and a heavy trailer to pull!

A bit heavier duty than yer standard Hiace but dont drive as well. A bit more truck-like.

That's cos it IS a truck. Im not sure that they weren't sold new in NZ. Not the van version but cab n chasis or box body. Might be even they were sold here new with a different badge.

They are Toyota designed. Sold as Daihatsu Delta, Toyota Dyna and Hino Dutro.
The place I worked in late '90s had 4x NZ new Daihatsu Delta's like that.
There is also a '90s hiace I've seen with dyna split back doors.

The lines division of the Posts Office had them way back when. before it became Telecom. Got one by tender they were on selling, for a friend who wanted it to tow his trailer yacht.

Dynas have 24v electrics like a grown-up truck.
(I know this because I once worked for a company that had mostly hiaces, and one old Dyna, and it took the bosses a long time to figure out why the Dyna kept blowing up all the light bulbs in the company trailers!)
So the ones that have a Hiace Van body are presumably intended for companies that run mostly trucks, and want a van with all systems compatible. ?

Non of the Route vans I imported were 24volt. Very popular with forestry contractors. Truck chassis with van comforts, of sorts.
