I'm sure there were two, and I believe there were four of these in Henrico. They were nicknamed the "Frog" because they were thought to be ugly. Here is the only one in my collection during better days.

Jerry, Mike: I drove one of the "Frogs" while a volunteer at Eng Co 5. They had a backwards shift 5 speed transmission - in other words, first gear was over to the right where 5th gear would normally be. The one Jerry posted was a bit longer than the others, it had a 1000 gal tank if I recall and was used as a tanker in it's latter years.
