Can this be a German Dux from around 1913-1915?

Yes, it is. I'll have to look up tonight whether I need more information for the point.  ;)
Meanwhile locked for you.

Good grab Bill!  I recognized the French made Goudard and Mennesson cooler, and did not expect to see it on a German truck, given the politics of the time.

Thanks Spence:
At first I thought it was a NAG, another ID project I worked on with another Forum a few weeks ago but the unique radiator made me look more.

Gerd, the only other information I have is from one photo in a German military vehicle history book and it indicated a model designation LO and that it was used by the Imperial German Army in the 1914-1918 War.

Yes, LO is the bit I was looking for.

One more point for you.

Thanks Gerd!

Here is a contemporary advertisement for the military variant and I believe your second photo is also an Army vehicle.

I have a bit more information but I have to go out just now.

OK, a bit more background information.

Apparently, DUX in one form or another was in business from the early 1900's until 1928.

Like a large number of German marques of the time, the Great Depression had a terrible effect on the company.  They went through a series of mergers and alliances with other manufacturers including Presto/Magirus/Vomag, forming DAK which seems to have evolved into NAG which in turn was eventually taken over by Buessing NAG.

During their truck building days, they built 5 different chassis ranging from 1.000 to 5.000 kilo capacity.

Thanks, Bill. Dux evolved out of the Polymobil company, building the Oldsmobile Curved Dash under license: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=26485
