What you have appears to simply be the Action Force release of the Stinger Jeep.
Palitoy (the company that held the GI Joe license in the UK) was notorious for issuing vehicles with either the typical US stickers or their own Action Force stickers. That's why the stickers you have look like they were made for the vehicle - because they were. Almost all vehicles released during the Action Force era had "special" stickers....you can see them on the ASP, Water Moccasin, WHALE, Fang, HISS, and even Zartan's Swamp Skier. Further complicating matters is the fact that there are known examples of Action Force Stingers that were released with both the plastic tire/grey spoke wheel combo and the rubber tire/black hub combo (like yours has). You can see pics of both versions here: NIGHT ATTACK JEEP I certainly don't want to spoil your hopes, but while you have a neat toy, it's not especially rare and in the condition that it is in, it's not worth especially much.
