EDIT: you are right!

I know it looks like one, but those are from the UK!

Do I understand correctly from your reply #4 that this vehicle(s) was/were manufactured in the UK?

Is this a Swiss Tribelhorn, which was also manufactured in the UK?

EDIT: GeHa did produce between 1910-1923.

Those were built shortly before WW1, but I do not have more knowledge about this company.

I did some research and found this text:

Quote
The heaviest of these parcelcars is made by Gebhardt and Harhorn of Berlin. The lighter models are the product of the Berliner Electromobil Fabrik, also of Berlin. The Torpedo Motor Co., Hampstead Road, N.W., are the English agents for both the machines

So I think Wendax deserves a point for this.

I really thought it was a UK replica as my source told me:

Yes, they seem to follow the construction of the strange pre WW1 "KT" tyres:
