I checked my books but there was just one picture in an old
book about German halftracks, it is a left side view of one of them
going over the hump of sand between the road and the beach.
The front wheels of another is in the foreground.
To me it looks as if the superstructure from a bus/ambulance
has been transplanted onto a halftrack chassis.
It has a high "forehead" sort of, it resembles this Soviet one in the
general appearance even if the German one ought to have been
based on a German bus/ambulance:

Lots of interesting Soviet subjects for scratchbuilding here by the way:

I'd rather not, it would probably infringe the copyright to publish it here.

Many thanks! Very informative. Maybe someone near Bremen could
get some pictures from the Schiffahrtsmuseum in Bremerhafen ?
Looks as if this vehicle is on the ground floor
