Well, how about a little excursion? Who will take us for a ride?
Manufacturer and type of bus? Who made the body? When was it? You get a whole point for the correct answer.

Yes it is a IFA H3 with a bodywork by KAFA. But my source gives a different year of manufacture and the type designation is not complete.
Locked for for fromwien for three attempts to clear these questions.

Really? I am wondering, as the Wartburg 353,  from which this bus has its headlights, made its debut in June 1966. So 1966?

Yes!
An entrepreneur in the GDR had two H3Bs in his fleet that were in urgent need of renovation. Under the old chassis number, S 4000 T low frames, IFA W 50 engines, among others, were given a new body at KAFA, Leipzig.
The first bus, our puzzle bus, was completed in 1967, the second followed in 1969.
The first received an overhaul after 1990 and is now part of the fleet of the "Verein Historische Nutzfahrzeuge Hartmannsdorf e.V.", the second is lost.
Here follows another point for you.
I attach a few photors from the history of the bus.

No, according to my source, the sister bus had the registration number TU 07-47.

The bus on fromwien's picture was built on a larger wheelbase. It has one more side window, just like the bus below from a Czech movie which is still another one.
