All it’s missing is the DeWalt logo :-)

In reality, only really highly vertically oriented companies (aka Old School Vilani Megacorps) would do this kind of thing, and even then it would simply be the milspec versions sold by their weapons division but with custom stock coloration, and possibly only in ‘semi-auto’. 

In many cases it would simply be a licensing deal for the name; after all Caterpillar doesn’t make these: http://www.kotulas.com/images/product/700x700/495/49513_700x700.jpg

Something else I might throw into the discussion. In the post I made linking to various pages on DevianArts held by designers of concept weapons, one of them (Linked below.) is to a weapon that by it's appearance and color scheme (Which recalls many common types of multimeter/caterpillar tractors) appears to be an industrial weapon rather than a military one. It could be that some companies make their own weapons and issue them specifically to their guards or for sale to other industrial/financial concerns further down the economic food chain.

The weapon itself is linked below:
