Who was the manufacturer of this truck and what type is it? Looks like an easy task for rookies. Therefore there is also only one point.

Licence-built Blitz, perhaps by Minerva-Imperia ?

I can't find another picture of this truck, but I presume it is from the B511 series.

Congratulations to Your next point! It is a design experiment by Borgward. In 1953 they connected a Opel Blitz front with a B 1500 cab. As the
B 1500 later became the B 511, I think Your answer is correct.
