DKW F8 with external loudspeakers of the Basel Police. Is the coachbuilder Swiss?

It's from 1937 and seems to still exist. Was the body built in Basel by Kölz?

The Basel Police History site(picture below)says it was used from 1940 until 1945. Was the coachbuilder from Zurich?

What does "Kubelwagen" actually mean?  I have only previously seen the tem used to describe the Volkswagen Jeep equivalent.

The Kübel refers to the bucket seats. So all military cars with bucket seats installed to keep the passengers in the car despite the missing (or detachable) doors can be called a Kübelwagen in German.
