Hi all,

Interesting pic, Sturm, obviously a Pharmacy truck in Greece.

A Kfz.31 following some mounted soldiers in Russia.I believe it is an Adler W61 K.

Hi Max,

the ambulance on the pic You posted 20th August is also a Phänomen Granit 25 H.

Best regards

Bert

Thanks Bert,
How exactly did you ID the 25 H vice the W61K from that view? I don't seem to have any good "rear end" shots to go by.

Hi Max,

thanks for Your reply. That´s a real good question. I took a close look to this question a long time. Here are my results:
a main difference beside the different rims (wheels) are the front mudguards and the bumper. The Phänomen has a gap between the mudguard and the bumper and another distance indicator.

Best regards

Hi Max,

here part two, the view from the rear:

there are different types of chassis, on which the ambulance box is put. And there is also a different fixing of the spare wheel.

Best regards

Bert

Thanks, Bert. It's still a pretty tough call, at least for me.

An excellent photo puportedly Luxemburg/Wallonien-34.Infanterie-Sanitäts Kompanie. An interesting assortment of vehicles including Steyr 640 and (I think) Phänomen Granit 25 H Kfz. 31's. So far I'm striking out on the truck parked next to the Opel Blitz.

Hi Max:

I am pretty sure your last truck is a Polish Wikov MNO.

Hi Bill,
That looks like the one! Thanks very much.
