If I understand you correctly, the Vehicle type is not correct. For furniture transport are often used omnibus chassis and the ground clearance looks like such a version. So might be a 5000 TU (1949-1951) or a TU (1951-1952) with a body by Lamperhoff.

Since I am missing the picture I must guess a bitt.The radiator grille looks more like 6000 T than 5000 T. So, it might be the
6 t-version. And on the occasion here the next furniture coachbuilder: Schmitz.

Sorry, it is not an 6000 T, not 5000 T, and not from Schmitz....

But seriously: I am still sure, that is a coach-chassis. Then only 4500 T and TU 5 remain.

That leaves only the 4500 TU. But none of my sources know this version.

Not 4500 TU
But I agree with you. Me too, never heard about the requested nomenclature before, stated by the owner of the truck

4500 TE? Coachbuilder from the south of Germany?

4500T(.), but not "E". I feel bad in European geography, but, I think, the coachbuilder is from the south of Germany
