I think this part is the chassis frame. It was a little bit fiddly and required concentration to ensure parts weren't stuck on upside-down or back-to-front, and there was a bit of leeway within the positioning markers when glueing in the brackets. I'm a little concerned each side of the frame does not run parallel but tapers in towards the rear - each bracket was held tight with elastic bands until set, so that's how it must look. A wooden clothes peg was also called into use to hold down the flanges of the chassis onto the brackets.
I've also found the Scania Bodybuilder homepage, which has chassis drawings and a technical information library, although it requires a bit of trudging-through to find the names of the specific components you're trying to stick together... I still dont know the function of two little barrel shaped pieces, which is a shame as they were the first two bits cut out, filed, wet-and-dried and assembled.
