That is what it is intended to look like, but it is a replica based on a different vehicle.

Yes, you are almost there. Have a look at the wheels and name the missing bit: IFA W 50 __

IFA W 50 LA is just fine enough, the 4WD version of the W 50. To be precise, this replica wasn't based on an IFA W50, but on an ADK 70 mobile crane, which used the W 50 LA chassis itself.
