Looking at this rig, the long bonnet suggests it was probably a 16 ton chassis with the 200+ BHP V8 engine, an idea reinforced by the meaty tyres. It certainly seems well loaded up, with a "coffin" on the cab roof as well as one covering the top of the rear body!
Just a guess, but probably a 2400 LPM rear pump, and water/foam/powder up to a combined 6 tons or possibly even a bit more. In Belgium, two axle trucks were permitted to go as high as 19 tons at the time, and maybe the Swiss military got an exemption to do the same?
