The Unimog is a favourite of mine, although NOT the recovery truck version.  I have two of the construction version, the tanker and the yellow winter service one.  Maybe DS still has the camel truck parts for the rear;  I'll try next time I order.  It's a long shot, but you never know.

Hi Flatcat, great photos of your circus.  :wow: The circus that visits us here is Russian and the acts are amazing. 
I have the blue circus but do have the circus truck.  It was good to see your photos because I wasn't sure if mine was complete so I can check now.
BTW good idea about the Christmas stall being used for a fairground  :wow:

The recovery truck just seems very ugly and unrealistic to me.

I'm sure you're right about the camel truck parts, but I can try for nothing.

There is one other version, the DS circus truck:

I wonder if the sides on this one are the higher type and would fit?  I have it from an earlier reissue so I can check.
