Do the vents on the hood imply an air-cooled engine?

I'm getting close!  Found what is probably the source of the picture, and the operator and the city, and a likely year.  Still working on coachbuilder and model.

O 2600: No, stronger.
Kässbohrer: No, this extraordinary hood comes from someone else.
1939: I only have the information: end of the 30s.
There is one more attempt for your trouble.

I found a nearly identical bus, supposedly on a Krupp chassis, attributed to "Bauer" from 1936.  Presumably Peter Bauer? 

Maybe O 3200?  You have already ruled out the larger and smaller chassis.
