A bit of a wild guess but is #44 August Sieper's Fiat Eigenbau and #54 Willibald Heller's VW Eigenbau?

I don't have the source at hand. I'll look it up tonight, but as far as I can remember it is not Sieper and Heller.

Hope I'll be at my source in time as well

Don't worry faksta, that was just a guess on my part.
My source is still packed in boxes so good luck for later....

#44: Hans-Joachim Kranke in Kranke VW Eigenbau.
#54: Alfred Katzer in Katzer VW Eigenbau.
...ah, how I love my books back in place!

Yes, where would we be without our books?
Two points for you.
The picture probably taken in 1950. The Kranke car was his first Eigenbau, we had the fourth here already (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19709.0).
