My "Getting colder" hint was meant geographically, not alphabetically.  ;D

All in good fun.

I had forgotten Argentina drove on the left pre-1945 and one of the bus history sites I visit had several photos of busses of what I think is this one's vintage with the stylized "fish" logo on the front of the radiator.  So............take a wild chance.

If nothing else, Gerd, I am persistent.

Now..........Hungary and Sweden also drove on the left at that time so I will have a look around there.  I don't think it is British or Italian.

The country we are looking for drove on the right, but some of their trucks and buses were RHD though.

I did not mention Switzerland, but it fits the pattern we are looking for.

I have exhausted my sources for Berna, FBW and Saurer so if it is Swiss it may be another marque.  Good Hunting..............I have been kidnapped for house remodelling duties for a while.
