Time for a look round then. This was the nearest I could find:

Looks like your photos could be of a larger version, 3 tons perhaps?

This one is puzzling the heck out of me....cant someone come up with an answer to satisfy my curiousity?

I'm thinking that it is British manufactured, around 56 or 57 for an export market, even though the grille is wrong for these years

Anybody know where the plates are from?

Intriguing!

Dont we have someone from Spain on the forum? Maybe he can tell if they are Spanish plates? Or Portuguese perhaps?

The grille and headlamps are still bothering me as well. If my memory is correct, in 57 the headlights had a kind of surround. But also, I'm pretty sure that all had an open grille, not a divided one like this....

Come on someone, put me out of my misery, tell me!!!!!

it's not from the North American market; very odd grille and low-set bonnet. i wonder if it's based on ex-WD cab but with later replacement wings? since the Soviets opened the borders i wonder also if it's some lend-lease survivor also traveling incognito?

t'would seem the mystery is solved! MB in Germany sent me these brochure scans:





Don't think I've seen one in the metal anywhere though!
