Yes - it's not Swedish and it's not Danish signs etc... - and licenseplates are Norwegian.

Looking through the wagon cab window,through to between the wagon and the the trailer is tarpauling.
Its a two tier transporter,so yep,more brand spankers underneath!
To get the top cars off,im guessing its just like a modern transporter,the top section would pivot down using hydralics to then make a ramp which the cars are driven/winched on.
