The record

Poland kept a battalion-sized contingent with the UN Interim Force in Lebanon from 1992 and a company with the UN Disengagement Observer Force on the Golan Heights from 1974, and each had a Żandarmeria Wojskowa (Military Police) detachment for traffic control, escort and discipline duties. Their patrol vehicles were Defender 110s — soft tops and station wagons — from the ZW's mid-2000s Land Rover purchases, repainted UN white with black UN lettering and keeping the Military Police's blue-and-red roof light bar with its ZW centre panel.

When Poland withdrew both contingents at the end of 2009 the vehicles were shipped back, and Wikimedia Commons' photograph of the returning equipment shows a soft-top 110 chained to a trailer in a Polish port; this registry entry is the 110 station wagon in the same UN white with UN on the doors, the ZW light bar, spare wheel on the bonnet and white steel wheels, built as the enclosed sister of that vehicle.
