Bulletproof vest ID required, possibly UK issue.

I got this thing some time ago, tried to find out exactly what it is but had no luck. Seller stated that this vest was made by American company which deals with military for UK police or maybe army. I don't have the vest with me now, so I'll post manufacturers name tomorrow. I did try to email them some time ago but got no reply. Vest is bulletproof and stab resistant. I suspect that ballistic panels are made out of Tvaron. Not sure about stab resistant panels. Ballistic panels have NIJ level 3 raiting (panels itself have European raiting equal to NIJ L3 on them), not sure about raiting on stab resistant panels.
Vest has two sets of panels inside, soft material (bulletproof I guess) and hard panels (probably stab resistant panels). Has ballistic inserts on the shoulders and groin protection pad which can be stored under the front panel. Carrier has large rifle plate pocket on each half, velcros to attach neck protection, also has whole bunch of loops around it, I suspect that's where equipment/belt is being attached.
Here is some pics.
P.S Vest was made in 2002 if that matters.
