Yes, that's right! That's what I call a quick reaction. Here comes your next point.
In order to standardise production, an attempt was made to adapt the cab of the small cubic trucks (type 314) to the Unimog; the prototype was presented on 23 December 1969.
However, adapting the cab to the Unimog would have resulted in additional costs of 1000 DM, and the seat position, which was set far forward, was also suboptimal for tough off-road use. So it remained with this one prototype.

This is not the point that required the most work for me but I'll take it anyway, I'm still from Dauphinois.
It's a good idea not to have followed up

You're allowed the easy point. You don't always have to be at the same level as si_529...
