I checked the slightly larger image of it (http://tinyurl.com/5yala) and while it's very similar, it's not quite the same. Let me see if I can explain the differences...

The body styles are more or less similar, but the Gruau is certainly the more polished of the two: the one I found looks like someone's backyard conversion.

The L.A. car has no handhold rails across the top of the bed, just wooden beams. The tailgates are similar, though, from what I remember.

The Gruau has an infinitely superior rear window arrangement.

OK, I'm going to head back out to the junkyard today and get photos before it's crushed. Too bad it made it in there before I could see it being unloaded.
