Body by Emmelmann?  Is this some kind of bus variant of the M 25?

According to my source (a specialist book on the subject of vintage buses), it is a type 245k. I checked and found no reference to this type. I assume that it is a 235K.
You have already clarified that with answer #14. The only thing missing now is the coachbuilder, it's not Emmelmann.

Yes, I was getting very confused.  I was pretty sure it was an O 235 (Kurz) and there is no intermediate model between that and the O 3000.  I found no mention, including in factory brochures, of an O 245.  I will continue to search for the coachbuilder.

I'm going to have to do this the hard way, I guess.  Auwärter?

Kässbohrer is always plausible, if maybe a little predictable.  Is it that?
