It would be good to know the manufacturer and type of the vehicle. Also the coachbuilderr and the sales designation of this body.

Yes, it's a Mercedes-Benz 8/38 ‘Stuttgart’, but I have a different coachbuilder. This is in the immediate vicinity of Reutter and also Salamander. Either identical bodies were produced here for the travelling trade or a Reutter body was repaired here (see accident damage). Who could have been the other coachbuilder?

Neither Baur nor Stuttgart. But near to Salamander...

I’m only guessing, Auer from Cannstatt?

The town of the coachbuilder is near the town of Salamander...

Yes, it's Balzer.
The photo of the puzzle delivery van was taken on the Balzer factory premises.
Although my source names Balzer as a coachbuilder, I think it is quite possible that the accident damage to a Reutter body was repaired here.
That's why I mention both coachbuilders in the title.
