Anyone recall them? I hunted through my pics on my computer and hunted through all my old posts but to no avail... I'm esp. looking for the pic of the black deli that was used somewhere overseas to carry the dead - said something like "body van" or some such... Anyone...?

Not sure how to tell you this, but, um, like, eh, that is not a DELICA!

That appears to be a First Generation Delica (T100), evidently in Thailand. It looks a little too compact, not sure.* The Delica didn't start donning the dip in the base of the forward side windows until the Third Generation.

I thought that it looks like a KEI van, suzuki carry or every van. I guess comfort for the passanger is not really an issue. I think it was Angie from mitsubishidelica.com who also had an l300 that was an undertakers vehicle.

This bit in the wikipedia link makes me think Gen. 1 deli:
In March 1971 a slightly facelifted version,
called the Delica 75, arrived. This (the T120)
received a small grille rather than the naked
metal front of the earliest Delicas...
I agree the bus does look a little small, but how big were those early ones?
Or maybe the guys in the pic are just really BIG!

I still think it's way to small to be a Delica, but who knows how big the first generation Delica actually was.
Here are a few more photos to compare:
