Sorry for the fuzzy picture.

For one point, please respond and identify the base car and the country it was built in. Additional info is welcome.

The trailer sports Volvo wheels.  Is this in Scandinavia?

Looks like it's wearing split-rim wheels from a Renault 4cv?

.....but discovered in Germany? (not a question, just completing your sentence!)
Is it from a Benelux country?

Getting even closer on the Volkswagen type, but not the Kommandeurswagen.
Yes, from Baltic country, but which one?
