Surely the tab on the top would catch the door frame?
Maybe its for a Pajero?

maybe that bracket is to bolt it to the ladder which means whatever the ladder is attached against cannot move.

other than that dunno, unless you do a search on google or ebay for roof rack ladders and search till you see the same as yours and then find out what vehicle its for.

I was gonna say, looks Pajero/Grand Vitara ish.

I've seen that exact ladder someplace and cant remeber what on :S
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

its not a back door job, looks more likely to fit on the side of a truck.
