My 400th puzzle is just about right for PAFW.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck.

Well the wheels look a bit like the electric-motor wheels of the Lohner-Porsche and although I've never seen a photograph of one, most of the accounts of  Lohner-Porsche activities mention trucks so perhaps that's what it is.
Since it seems to have a radiator, it would be petrol-electric if it is from L-P.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

No connection with Lohner-Porsche, and no petrol-electric engine, sorry.

Man, this was hard.

It is a german 1924-25 27/45HP LWD 3 ton truck with kardan-driven front wheel drive, built by Lippische Werke AG Detmold.

Hooray, we finally have a winner!  :applause: :applause: :applause:
Very well-earned two points for you!

Georgano has it as an 30 hp engined truck. Where have you got the 27/45 HP from?

According to Metternich it had a four-cylinder engine of 2.5 litre displacement delivering 30 hp. It was designed by engineer Franz Meyer using several of his patents. The planned series production never got really under way.
