Magirus M40, 110 hp, built from 1933. According to my source, this superstructure was available ex works for the maintenance of overhead lines.

Now that is interesting. Your picture surely was the template for the drawing in the puzzle picture. But it seems that this superstructure was available on different chassis, as I took the puzzle from a Magirus brochure. Locked for you to find the right model. You are not far off though.

The M 30 should be sufficient for this purpose, but judging by the size of the bonnet, it will probably be an M 50, also because of the 110 hp figure in my source.
