Black and white…Oldies with bonnets.What on Earth was initially this one? Certainly an ex-army truck, but wherefrom?
This one triggered my attention too Paul! If the cab is anything to go by, I would say it’s a German design…?
According to JF Colombet it’s an Einheitdiesel vehicle of the Wehrmacht. Type HWA 526 D powered by a 85 bhp 6-cyl diesel.
The Mercedes-Benz Einheitsdiesel I.E.Lkw HWA 526D Einh 6x6 Lorry was a standardised Einheitsdiesel I.E.Lkw German Military - Army - Wehrmacht Lorry and was one of many produced by Mercedes-Benz and several other lorry manufacturers,such as Bussing-NAG,Henschel,Magirus,MAN.
Some German Nomenclature:-
