Why simply "Italian Truck"? It is Fiat 626, NM diesel I guess, which was most used by all services.

AFAIK these were transport units equipped with refrigerated trucks/vans, or which bodies have had thermal insulation at least. The loads were everything which needed low temperature storage - meat, some fruits and vegetables, blood, etc. One of the meanings of "Thermos " in German is refrigerated/thermoinsulated vehicle.
