There's hardly any limits on creative solutions that designers and constructors come up with. In the early Blitz bus section abd in the semi-trailers ther's more.
Special truck like versions with often sliding side doors are reported and rarely photographed. The only one photographed is reported to be a kitchen truck. other versions mentioned: Druckereikraftwagen (imprint truck) and Setzereikraftwagen (typesetting truck). As on fire trucks of this period began to appear, this bus has sliding doors left and right. There drafted civil busses.
1937-1939 period chassis with special coachwork. The window layout is special. Not useful for normal transportation. Deutsche ArbeitsFront (German workers union) was a politically inspired organization. It is believed to be a mobile office.
By far the most exotic construction. A 1939-1944 chassis. The floor level seems higher than the standard floor (See the stairs at the back). In one picture red cross roundels are visable. It is a "Feld-Operationswagen" (field or mobile operating room).

| The Africa corps palm tree is faintly seen on the door. It is a 1937-1939 model, by its 6 hole wheels. Also published is "Fahrzeuge der Reichswehr, Wehrmacht und Bundeswehr" by Werner OSWALD. | The second picture found on it gives a good view. The towed trailer is most likely a generator. |

There is a nice 1:87 kit from Arsenal M.
