Who knows this vehicle?

One point only for the correct chassis AND the correct coachbuilding company.

Specially bodied or displaying "Heroes of the Soviet Union" (astronauts, politicians, generals etc), or visiting VIPs, in parades ?

Is it an Opel Blitz chassis base?

Opel Blitz 1,75 t Mannschaftswagen - yes

Herbert Vidal - according to my source ( a well known book) - no...

I will check this.

Until then it is LOCKED for you anyways.

You probably refer to Bischoff of Kassel, but their Opel Blitz Streifenwagen had a different body without the diagonal C post (see below).

To consolidate my Herbert Vidal guess, compare with the similar Opel Blitz 1,9 t: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2014-43/solved-wendax-1216-opel-blitz-police-convertible-by-herbert-vidal-co and with the workshop photo: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2017-46/wendax-2192/

Thanks for the point, almost a Christmas present nowadays.
