When the one-box design seems too modern...

For one point, please respond and identify this bus and its coachbuilder.

Obviously a VW Kombi.  Is the body by Karmann?

The big bus is certainly from Ottenbacher, but the VW bus is not.

I figured as much. I have additional images of VW buses with identical coachwork, but have not yet identified the coachbuilder. The coachbuilder is German, correct?

It would be more impressive if I had a coachbuilder attached.
