Nothing to do with me by the way but this would make nice summer fun, I have just defected and bought Japanese but if I had the cash I could have been tempted.
Nige, you're in the market aren't you - LOL!!
It may well be 24V but don't the FFRs always have that big equipment rack bolted to the cab rear bulkhead?
Is that a proper arctic heater unit or a later privately fitted item?
Again, I always thought the army policy was to keep them back and fit them to another vehicle...

does look quite tidy.
When I bought my Lightweight, the dealer had a field filled with ex-Army Land Rovers. Some Lightweight FFRs had arctic heaters and hard tops, with the vehicle batteries in a pair of boxes at the back of the rear wheel arches. Some had the equipment rack and boxes on the wings for the ATUs, some didn't.
What defines the FFR vehicle is the 24v electrics, dual-charging alternator, and pre-installed RF leads from the rear dividing bulkhead to the front wings. The rack is apparently part of the radio installation.
As for the heaters, is it possible that the Army had switched to a different type as part of the big change from petrol to diesel?
