Well then: VW Type 1, US export (see bumpers).
The year of manufacture makes it a little trickier. The rear window and rear lights speak to the year of construction 1958, as in the NDR media report. The door handles seem to confirm this. It wasn't until 1959 that door handles with pushbuttons were introduced, and there's no sign of them in the picture.
The indicator lights are irritating, according to the B-pillar they were standard at this car, but actually only came in 1960. For the US export perhaps earlier?
No idea!
Btw: In the so-called "NDR Mediathek" there is a black and white film from 1963, showing the loading of a Beetle onto the ‘La Marea’. You can feel a bit sorry for the rocking car...
