Looks like it could be a transitional design to the later square back VWs.

The make is, yes.

Does this mean that the coachbuilder is not German?

"Does this mean that the coachbuilder is not German?"

I have been waiting for someone to ask that question. Been scouring Italian coachbuilders for the last three days.
