Yes, correct! It is also known as Troostscher Lastzug, named after Oberleutnant a.D. Troost who commissioned these truck-trailer combinations (the world's first) for South West Africa.

The Last Train to Trootscher? Wasn't that a Monkees record?
Ah no, that was The Last Train to Clarksville..!
(and I DO know what a 'Lastzug' really means Wendax!)

A most interesting vehicle to be sure!!

May I ask an honest question..........

Was the uniformed gentleman on the last trailer some sort of steersman for the last part of the land train?

It looks like a "Bremser", a man operating the trailer brakes. Many truck trailers had such a brake operator seat or even a cabin.

Yes, of course.

The lever he is holding on to with his right hand would be a braking lever, not a steering lever.
Thanks.

I should have known this one...

My original 1903 source claims that it featured a 40HP spiritus engine.

It was a truck was used for the german Deutsch Südwest colonial troops (now Namibia):
