Saurer (France) Type 3 CT1D.

Yes: Pelpel. The 3CT1D was manufactured from 1936 to 1948. For me, it fits into the post-war period, so I would guess it was built between 1945 and 1948.

Very good. The photo is from a 1953 magazine, but it may have been built earlier. Your point!

Thanks for the puzzle. I'm a bit smarter now when it comes to searching.
