This turned up truck at Doredrecht (from Dordt open stad sitehttp://www.grebbeberg.nl/dordt/
according to the caption is a German truck.
[linked image]
But I was triggered by those diagonal tubes at the front(?) end of the truck. Front wheel drive? Could this be a rare pic of the Ford-DAF 4x4 artillery tractor? These were used by the Dutch Light Division at Dordt and captured by the Germans.

too much wine

I may have been over optimistic: the truck does not appear to be the DAF. The tubes are probalby the rear brakes, cause that's the rear axle. The front axle is not driven, it's below the engine.

This may in fact just be a large car, not a truck.
