Hi Max,

Unfortunately I've yet to find a photo of a Kurier with both that bumper and grille, louvring, wings and wheels matching Sturm's pic. Could just be a Garant with a replacement/retrofit bumper from a younger year model Kurier.

Hello Markus and Sturm 78,
Yes, I think that is the most likely scenario. A 4/23 PS Kübelwagen based on the 11/35 Garant with a Kurier bumper.

Hi all,

Another image of a Hanomag PKW of Luftwaffe. I am not sure about the exact model...

Hello Sturm,
To me it looks like a 4/20 PS.

Hi Max,

the Büssing-NAG G 31 is a Kfz. 77: You can see the cable drum behind the windscreen. And as far as I know there were no Kfz. 76 in units of the Luftwaffe.

Best regards

Bert

Hi Max:

One source says it is by the body maker Touring but I have no solid proof yet.

Hello Bill and thank you very much. I suspect your source is correct. Here are a couple of exemplars from the Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera website http://www.touringsuperleggera.eu/en/company.php.
Although neither are exact car they exhibit very similar stylistic elements:

Merge the two together and you can visualize a rough approximation of the original design! 8-)

Henschel (or Magirus) Type 33. A nice view of the bolted together Trilex rims used on the later models to facilitate tire changes in the field. Can anyone identify the "stag horns" symbol on the door?
