That looks a bit special.
What purpose does this vehicle serve? Was that its only use? Who built the body on which chassis and when was that?
Ein Henschel zieht am Berg und ein Mercedes
an den Türen. (and an attempt of a translation):
A Henschel in rushing up the hill, wheras in a Mercedes wind is rushing through the doors. c/o norberthanke

During WWI Salmons rebodied many passenger cars to ambulances. They stored the original bodies and after the war the chassis got back the original body and the owner got back his car.
Here an ambulance on Itala chassis, 1915
Dauphinois gratiné

One point for this detailed and absolutely correct answer.
