V-8 Mercedes diesel

[Ironman03R]

I've come across a huge v-8 Mercedes at work and dont know what it came from. I've looked online and found no info or pics. I assume it was an off road application. It had a mechanical injection pump and what looked like mounts for a turbo on each manifold.
Anyone ever see one of these?

Nope but I'd be interesting to find out. Got any pics?
