Interesting views Grob.
The left front also appears to have a compartment - another wash-hand basin or something different?

I don´t know, but it has been a very inventive car for its time.

Some features and another period photo of the only prototype car that has survived until today.
It shows its use as a soviet staff car in the early years after WW II:

- independent front suspension
- double joiunt rear axle
- 5,53m long
- 160 km/h
- 5-6 seater
- 17.000 Reichsmark
- radio (1939!)
- steering lock
- a blower for clearing the windscreen
- adjustable headrests
- the well known foldable washbasin in the front right fender

Great photos Grob.
Perhaps the left hand compartment held the soap and towels? (tongue-in-cheek reply)  ;D

The left-hand compartment housed a medicine chest.
