a very interesting question about the Mercedes-Benz type G 3 a. You are right, it is a subvariant of the Kfz. 62.
It is a vehicle of a Beobachtungsabteilung (have a look on the invitation of the Beobachtungsabteilung for a stew lunch). It cannot be a flash-light analysing motor vehicle or a Wetterkraftwagen – weather motor vehicle or a print shop motor vehicle, because these vehicles have another superstructure. So it could be a Stabsauswertekraftwagen - staff analysing motor vehicle or a Schallauswertewagen - sound analysing motor vehicle. Here a pic of such a vehicle (source: Handbuch für Heerestaktik des Lehrstabes für Heerestaktik beim Reichsministerium der Luftfahrt 1939).

Thanks for your reply, Bert

I think that there are also other two possibilities: Kfz.62 Vermessungsauswertekraftwagen (surveying evaluation motor vehicle) or Kfz.62 Schallaufnahmekraftwagen (sound recording motor vehicle) ...

Hi Sturm 78,

thank You very much for the correction and the expansion of the possible motor vehicles.
When we have a look on the structure of a Beobachtungsabteilung, is it right, that this Abteilung had:
1 Stabsauswertekraftwagen - staff analysing motor vehicle Kfz. 62,
2 Wetterkraftwagen – weather motor vehicles Kfz. 62,
1 Druckereikraftwagen – print shop motor vehicle Kfz. 62,
2 Vermessungsauswertekraftwagen - surveying evaluation motor vehicles Kfz. 62,
4 Lichtmeßstellenkraftwagen - flash light measuring point motor vehicles Kfz. 63,
3 Lichtmessauswertekraftwagen - flash-light analysing motor vehicles Kfz. 62,
4 Schallaufnahmekraftwagen - sound recording motor vehicles Kfz. 62 or 63,
4 Schallauswertewagen - sound analysing motor vehicles Kfz. 62?

Thanks in advance for an answer.

Best regards

Bert

Hi all.

Hello uncle. Alexander and Hoss65. This is a very interesting problem. Other GM cars of the era besides the Cadillac had similar headlamp mounting struts, such as the Chevy shown here:

The problem is that none had the stamped plate type bonnet louvers as on the subject car or the GAZ A (or the Ford Model A for that matter).

Hi, what is the name of these two vehicles? Is the one at the back a Kübelwagen?

Hi Alif,
Well, right off I can say the one in the back is a SIMCA 8 cabriolet ca.1939. The other will take some digging but is most likely French as well.
