"Blog Meister," writes that loveable old curmudgeon 'The Boss', "hanging around my favourite watering hole which happens to be next to the yard of this Convoi Exceptional Transporter I managed to get these shots but if you look closely down the pipe as it is being lifted off it would seem to be kinked at the rear.They certainly took a great deal of care settling it in the cradles on the ground,expect one of our blog experts may say whether it was loaded the right way on the trailer or maybe it just got a bit of a bash somewhere along the line? Who Knows?,Certainly long enough particularly as no Convoi Exceptional loads are allowed on French motorways,they have to stick to National roads.The Boss."

Look closely towards the back and there definitely looks to be something of a slight 'ripple' in it..though whether that's deliberate, or caused by manufacturer I couldn't say...meanwhile that looks like a 6x6 MAN to me....
