The "Grosser" Mercedes that were used by the heads of a certain German political party in the late 1930s through mid 1940s had a vaguely similar setup in the back; there was a platform that could be used as a desk or as a standing platform for reviewing the troops. (I just recently read "The Devil's Mercedes", a book about a couple of those cars that wound up coming to the US in the mid to late 40s.)
