Struggling to match this to an Austrian coachbuilder. Highly obscure?

Unfortunately I don't know the coachbuilder, just the chassis and a year.

120 TS?

The 1950 magazine article just tells that it has the same engine as the 120 LM and 120 KN trucks. So I think 120 is correct, and T probably stands for the COE body (Trambus). I'm not sure whether S stood for Stadtbus (town bus), but I couldn't find any other suffixes for early Gräf & Stift COE buses, so I'll go for that.

Thank you for the point!

To be honest, I spent far too much time over-analyzing that which turned out to be a fairly straight-forward puzzle.
