Saw this in local rag - something about this seems a bit strange…
A: Havent seen a p reg artic on livestock for years!
B: I thought back doors on double deck livestock trailers didn’t go to the top anyway.
So - is it a fake? Is it a really old pic? (quality is awful) Has the sheep got its head out of a gap between a rear panel and the roof? Discuss. And for goodness sake think of the lambs!
Ere,if you was stuck in a trailer full of sheep you’d stick your head out for some fresh air too.
I think he is just pulling your goat…I will get me coat 
I think the photo is a fake, I’ve seen that trailer unloading, if you drop the ramp there’s an inner door that would mean its impossible for a sheep to get its head anywhere near there !
There’s a pic of the wagon here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=40807&start=12480#p1151573
Detective work 
I thought it could be an albino giraffe?

Not really detective work, I recognised the trailer , it’s more sad anorak !
Not an expert on livestock bodies but I do know then pezzaoli trailers can lift the roof up a foot or two to help when loading the lifting decks. Only thing I can think could have happened is the roof has been lifted while the sheep have been loaded and when the roof has been lowered (via a side control box) the sheep has had it’s head in the gap between the lifted roof and the back door.

If you lifted the roof to help loading I wouldn’t expect the roof to be lowered until they unloaded.
See my pic above, I’m pretty sure there is no gap !
They use remote controls too !

I think they have to lower the roof after loading otherwise its too high to go out on the road with. That’s how they’ve always done it when they’ve collected pigs from my dads farm but maybe different for sheep as they usually use 4 decks instead of 3 with sheep being lighter than pigs.
Its not a 21st century version of these, from the 80’s/90’s is it??
