It's different from the Österreichische Saurer cabs I know.  Anyway, Österreichische Saurer ?

Yes, as already established it is a Österreichische Saurer with a woodgas unit. All I need for the point, is the maker of the Holzgas unit. His name was written on this particular truck.

Guessed without success so far were the following makers:
Cabronia
Carbojura
Dietrich
Gustloff
Imbert
Klöckner-Deutz
Menck & Hambrock
Südgas
Wacker
Weda
Wisco
Zeuch

I don't know where the company was located. I found a reference as it being German, but that could include Austria as well in those years.
