Wartime or Post-War Police Photo ???

"Lifted" these from the net...

As my knowledge of Police Shakos and Vehicle ID's are not exactly among my stronger points, I thought I would post this here for those with that knowledge.

This is actually a great photo of Police in training, but when ???

Veedub or not, I think Ian is correct in the other aspects.

Notice K98 as well.

Great photo.

Indeed it is a VW Beetle, but those cars were produced (and correct me if I'm wrong here) from the mid-30's until 2001. The key here is the other heavier vehicles and (especially) the Shakos.

These are post war police. The shakos are noted. 1950 ish?

The rifle is partly covered by the watermarks.
Is that a Walther 98K or maybe a Walther G31?
