The view is better than the Jumbo's because there is no short hood. But there seems to be some amount of clutter from the instrument/control panel. That way the WDP4/WDG4s are far better to drive cab-forward!

So is this a GM cousin of the WDP4/WDG4 ?

Looks like Pakistan Railways incorporated General Electric's Bright Star Micro Processor unit into their loco's much before we did.This is the exact same unit found on WDM3D and the latest lot of WDG3A Shakti locomotives

The "bonnet" is most probably for a more powerful engine to haul heavier loads.

Which loco is this? Seems some scrap dealers have bought this loco from abroad!! NEC?? Very strange pic. The lorry too seems to be strange. Never seen such a lorry, with the bonnet

In a way rearview mirror can be helpful for the "pilots" to see the train during curves, spot signals from the guards and notice any unusual happenning like derailments etc.
