Is that BJ and the Bear pulling that tank trailer?
If so, is that his "convoy" in the rest of the castings? :D

Meanwhile, this one's out of last years' Police 5-pack....(MB444), simply called "Ford Panel Van" in it's base, with two copyright dates ("1999, '16"; the " '16" indicating a casting modification for the 2017 model year?)

One more, and then the source of all 3:

Fire/Police/EMS set, found at KB Toys before they passed into the history books....

I never would have guessed these vans were Fords, but then, I probably couldn't tell a Ford from a Chevy if it bit me (if it didn't have a Ford oval or Chevy bowtie somewhere on it...)

K-B Toys was a fountain of diecast emergency vehicles, as I'm sure many here can attest. Some other fine multipacks came from there (generic/MIC noname), and I managed to pick up 5 different ones, each with a different fire engine, but many of the same other vehicles shared between sets. This was one of the main ambulance castings in those 5 5-packs, and I think it is another E-series:

Simply "Made in China" in the base.

That cab is definitely a E series, just an altered grill. I have the same ambulance from a set I got in K-Mart years ago. Other then the grill that ambulance is an exact copy of the old Funrise light and sound type III and the set also came with a fire rig that is an exact copy of the Funrise Seagrave quint of the era. I always wondered if there was a connection.
