It is a Wartburg 353 W, but not the factory-built Trans pickup.

Is this an extended wheelbase Wartburg 353 W known as a Wartburg-RIS from the mid to late 1980's?

I believe that RIS was short for Rolf Ihling (of Bad) Salzungen.

Correct, it was a private attempt to satisfy the need for a Wartburg Pickup, when the factory-built Wartburg Trans mainly went into export.
