More angles, if it helps.

Hi Kerry:

Well, I had my second eye cataract surgery on Tuesday so my eyes are still
not so good, but.......

I believe the vehicle is French but I cannot today positively identify it.

I believe that it is perhaps some sort of workshop vehicle because you can
see that the sides fold down to provide platforms. That being said, it could
also be a bakery or some other sort of food preparation vehicle albeit without
the usual chimneys.

As always, I will continue to investigate, but I think "French-workshop" is
most likely to be at least part of the answer.

Cheers
Bill

Hello Kerry,

this lorry is for sure a vehicle of the Czechoslovakian brand Walter.

http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepa...ton_lorry.html

It looks like a normal lorry with platform which was converted to a special purpose. I think it is a kind of telephone operating vehicle. In the upper part of the superstructure, one can see a switchboard for cable connections similar to these on a regular Kfz. 72:

Holger and Bill, many thanks for your detective work. Your website is mine of information and a true pleasure to visit Holger, I hope, one day, that I might have a collection half as good as yours, and a knowledge-base a fracion of yours and Bill's. Cheers, Kerry.

Hi Kerry/Holger:

Thank you Holger for the correction.

I was not sure of the type of the truck as I mentioned,
but I surely would not have thought of a Walter 1.5 ton
truck.

I would have thought that a body that large would have had
to have been mounted on some sort of 3 ton chassis.

I also missed the switchboard but I can blame that on my
recent eye operations.

I did use a magnifying glass on Kerry's photo and I now see what
you are talking about.

Again, always glad to hear from a true expert.

Cheers
Bill

On this photo I am interested in all three vehicles, but, particularly, the curious car in the centre. I am sure that the 3-piece windscreen and "sunburst" radiator will be good diagnostic points, but not, sadly, to me. Thank you for looking, Kerry.

How about this armoured lorry? The tyres look like British pattern, but the rest, including the mounted weapon, is unknown. Can anybody help please? Thanks,
Kerry.

A little closer.

Kerryboo, the registration number on the strange vehicle would indicate that it is of Czech origin, I can't say what it is though.

The armoured lorry looks like one of the many armoured trucks produced by the Germans on British Bedford bodies, there are several pics of them on this thread.

Thanks Alan.
This one is a little off topic maybe, but does anyone recognise this car, in Hungarian service I think. Kerry.

Hi Kerry:

The last little roadster is a Skoda 420 Popular.
I don't know the user country as I never bothered to learn registration
plate types.
I have so far had no luck with the previous photo with the strange
bus and I am a bit wary of the trucks, could be Walter/Wikov but I am not
sure. Same for the truck behind the Skoda.

I will continue to look.

Cheers
Bill

Hi Kerry, hi Bill,

to the trucks behind the Skoda:
on the left a Walter 1,5 t truck, on the right a Tatra T 27 a.
To the pic with the special bus I cannot say nothing, sorry.

Regards

Hi Kerry/Bert:

Thanks Bert for the extra ID.

Today I picked up my new "Computer Eyeglasses" and it is expected that it will
take 3/4 weeks before my brain communicates correctly with my eyes so that
I may finally be able to see correctly again

Then, watch out, I may be able to get back to my old 90% correct track record on photo identification

By the way, on the advice of my Optometrist/Eye Doctor Surgeon, I today purchased a new Mouse and a new keyboard that are much simpler and user friendly than the 21st Century ones I had been sold on by my local computer store.

What a difference. The mouse is dead simple, scroll wheel, left button, right button and it doesn't jump all over the screen like the high tech ones I had been using.

The keyboard is maybe 2/3 the size of the old one and has maybe 70% of the "feature keys" of my earlier one. It is also 'Backlit" so I can actually see the keys.
My error rate when typing in posts such as these has dropped almost to zero.

Life is Good

Cheers
Bill

Thank you nox.
Can somebody help me with the make and model/models of these 2 trucks? There are small detail differences between the 2, but I suspect that they are of the same model.
Thanks for looking,
Kerry.
