Hi George,
Your #581 looks like a Magirus O 145:

#587 could be a Magirus M40:

Anyone for these two? My guess is a Mercedes type L 64 (Lo 3500?) for the Luftfeldpost bus at left and possibly a Krupp O3 variant on the right (is that an ambulance?).

Hi Max,

to Your questions:
the bus of the Luftfeldpost sems to be a Mercedes Benz type O 3750, a former bus of the Reichspost.
On the right is a Magirus L 145 Gepäckwagen of the German Reichspost (source of the pic: "Das Lastwagen-Album Maggirus" by Bernd Regenberg.

Regards

Bert

Thank you, Bert. According to Holger's site the Lo 3500, O 3750, and Lo 3750 were all part of the same L64 series. I have trouble telling the difference. :? Below is an Lo 3750, there is a slight difference in the cab above the windshield. The other is definitely your Magirus! What is the triangle on the roof? I've seen it on ambulances before.

Hi Max,

excuse me, please, for my late answer. I´m still thinking that the bus is a Mercedes Benz type O 3750, a former bus of the Reichspost. Here a pic of this type out of the book "Mercedes Benz Lastwagen und Omnibusse" by Werner Oswald.

To Your other question: the triangle on the roof is for signalling that the truck (as a rule) is pulling a trailer. Here two pics: one with the triangle up, the other down.

Regards

Bert

Anyone for this 3 axle Reichspost bus? From the front fenders I would venture either Henschel or Magirus but I don't really know.

I would say this could be VOMAG.

Excellent, Piotr!

Thanks to your tip I found this VOMAG bus based on the 88 Flak truck chassis. It's a little longer but otherwise almost identical in detail.

Hi Max, hi Piotr!

A really great pic of a VOMAG type 7 OR 660. Thanks for posting. But I´m rather sure, that on Your pic is not a VOMAG bus. Have a look on the two rear wheels. A Büssing-NAG bus better fits I think. So it could be the type 801, 802 or 900. But from this angle of vision I cannot say which type it is. And I have no pic of these busses.
Here a pic from a Büssing-NAG truck type 802 N for comparing (source of the pic: Das Lastwagen-Album Büssing" by Bernd Regenburg).

Regards

Bert
