Small cars have to be careful not to be swallowed up.
Here are the usual questions: manufacturer of the base vehicle, type designation, coachbuilder and year of manufacture.

Yes it is a BO 4500, locked for you to name the year of construction.

My source says 1953 to 1955 for the BO 4500; the only picture I could find was from a 1955 book about Bremen manufacturing plants.  The largest production of BO 4500's was in 1954 so I'll start with that.

The idea sounds logical, but the result is still wrong ;)

That's it!
Two examples were built, destined for Sweden. Left-hand traffic still existed there at the time.
Here comes your next point.
