Please identify this vehicle for a point - brand and model names are both required

British? If yes an Albion?

French?  Perhaps Latil?

Locked for Wendax. It is a Rába. But I need the model name for the point.

Wendax

It could be a 1928 Rába L.

pnegyesi

And here comes the surprise. It is not a Rába L, though it looks very much like one.

Still locked

Wendax

Perhaps the Rába AF, built under Austro-Fiat licence?

pnegyesi

It is not that. You won't find it easily, that is why this is a Pro puzzle. You have two more guesses

Wendax

Is it the electric Raba PE?

pnegyesi

Yes, this is the electric Rába PE (postal electric). There's some confusion about this, but I am fairly convinced that this is indeed the PE. Electrical equipment was supplied by the Ganz company. More than 30 petrol trucks were converted - and several one-off prototypes were built, which makes research more difficult
