It was a one-off but I'm afraid I don't know what (if anything) it was based on, or its power source.

I don't know its name (if it had one!)
All I want is answers to the questions asked in the first post.

Methinks you've been waiting for this one!
It's your point but I wondered if the date is correct.
I had to do some research on German registration numbers of the period and the number on the car (pictured below) is a Berlin Western Sector plate from 1947/8; such plates were only issued for those couple of years before the new system started.
I know the picture was captioned as '1952' so maybe the plate was issued to the car on which it was based?

The KB plates (= Kommandatura Berlin) were issued until 1956 in West Berlin, just East Berlin changed to GB (=Groß-Berlin) in 1948.

And yes, I was waiting for this one, as I originally had it on stock for my Eigenbau of the Month thread.
