You are right with the station. I have only very limited information about British coachbuilders in general, but the one in question advertised as "Largest Motor Works in London". It existed for about 50 years, starting business with horsedrawn carriages.

Underground F - Milan Centrale Station and #8 - Carrozzeria Italo-Argentina, Milan.
Undergroung H - Altona? and #7 - Karosserie-Fabrik Bernhard Klein.
Underground I - Parc Départemental de Parilly Train Station and #3 - Berliet? by Achard, Fontanel & Cie - Lyon.
Underground J ( I presume it's a French location - Courbevoie?) and #9 - Carrosserie Alin, Liautard & Cie.

I recognise Underground E as the Tyne and Wear Metro, which serves the areas around Newcastle and Sunderland in north-east England. That links to #10, a Rolls-Royce hearse by Northern Coachbuilders Limited of Spital Tongues, Newcastle upon Tyne. The company was better known for making buses and trucks.

I'm quite impressed!
#7 is the Karosserie-Fabrik Bernhard Klein, which was in the city of Altona at that time. In 1937, Altona became a part of Hamburg, and H is the underground station Christuskirche which is the closest one to Klein's factory.

#3 is by Achard, Fontanel et Cie from Lyon, and you have identified I correctly.

#9 is from an Alin, Liautard et Cie ad. Since there is no Courbevoie metro station, I took the closest Parisian one, Pont de Levallois-Becon, which you correctly found as Underground J.

Yes, #4 is a Rudolf Franke body and C is the Berlin underground station Krumme Lanke.


That leaves coachbuilder #5 of which we already know that he was located near the Oval station in Kennington, London.

Any ideas, folks? To be precise, the coachbuilder was located just 1.5 miles away from Oval station.

It must be in a south-easterly direction from the Oval, otherwise there would be other underground stations that were nearer.

So somewhere like Peckham. There was a coachbuilder called E & H Hora Ltd, at Shenley Works, Peckham Road, at about the right sort of time.
