Very cool (and relevant for the Dragon) badge job!!

Looks like an older Mercedes G Wagon with a PUCH logo on it.

"PUCH was an Austrian producer of automobiles, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles. ~~ The Puch motorcycle company was sold to Piaggio, maker of the Vespa, in 1987."

Steyr Daimler Puch of Austria was the actual builder of the Mercedes G-Wagon, and ended up making the vehicle under their own nameplate - as seen here. A far cry from the plush new MB SUVs, the G-Wagons were real workhorses.
