As you said, it seems to have been known as coming from two manufacturers.

It is essentially an updated Steyr RSO from WWII and was produced as the Saurer MotorMuli M30/60 and was apparently also developed for the Bundeswehr by Steyr as the Muli Steyr M80.  Both used Steyr engines. Yours is a civilian forestry tractor.

That is about all I could find.

You found the right vehicle. The things are even a bit more complicated. It was initially built by the Motor-Muli Schuster, Hacker & Co KG. Later on Saurer and Steyr were involved in the production, so I have seen it as a Saurer, a Steyr or even a Saurer-Steyr Motor-Muli.
One mistake in your answer has to be corrected. It was never used by the Bundeswehr (German army), but by the Bundesheer (Austrian army).

One more point for you.

OOPS!
Yes, the Austrian Army, not the German.  I tend to get my "Bundes" mixed up sometimes.

One of the articles I found said the vehicle could also be converted to wheels rather than tracks, not something
the RSO was set up for.  Do you know if this is true and do you have such a photo?

Never heard of that wheel conversion, sorry.

A nice conversion was the Postbus Motormuli:

At least here is a 1956 magazine clipping about the Vienna Autosalon showing a wheel axle next to it.
