Thank you for your answer, Carius.

Maxim = MG08

Do you know how many Tempo G1200 PKWs wre bought by Bulgaria?

Here an image of a Steyr truck. I am not sure about the model: 440 or 640 ??

Bulgarian soldiers on the coast of Ohrid lake (1941)

For what it's worth, they would APPEAR to be on the Albanian side of the lake. I say this because I just had lunch there last august, looking north, and the mountains look the same.

The radio seems to be the indigenous Bulgarian "КСТ" radio set.

Not much. It was produced by the Military Engineering and Communication Factory in Sofia from imported parts. There were several models - I know of 1938 and 1941. These were the main communication radio equipment at tactical level for the Bulgarian army in WW2.

Here are some photos:
