The picture in the earlier puzzle looks like a removeable hardtop now you mention it.  But the rear lights are different!
I understand the convertible did not survive but at least one of the coupes did and is currently being or has recently been restored; pictures below.  This has the same rear lights as the convertible but seems to be an FHC so now we have pictures of 3 different cars..
The convertible was also available in yellow but with the same driver!:

The original puzzle car is a survivor that had to be kept alive through more than 25 years of socialism. The rear lights were substituted by standard rear lights for trailers.

The car in restoration isn't a coupe either, but a roadster with hardtop, as can be seen below:

I did wonder if it was an FHC, looking at the gap where the top joined the body.
Were any of them FHCs then or were all four convertibles with hardtops?

I don't know of any FHCs. The Wartburg 313 and 312 HT were just roadsters with removable hardtops, too.
