Properly unloaded and securely fastened
However, it is not the trailer that is decisive, but rather the manufacturer, model and year of manufacture.

DAF 7 Streper 1950 (Dutch for 7 Stripes). The 7 Stripes model was manufactured from 1950 till 1955 when it was succeeded by the 6 Streper (6 Stripes).

Yes, you're basically right, but a type designation would be nice! My source cites 1949 as the year of manufacture, but there may be contradictions for the early days.
Locked for you.

You are right! Production of the 7 Streper started in 1949 and not 1950 as I erroneously wrote, yet the photo (according to the source I found) states the year 1950. Depending on the wheelbase and the type of engine, connected to the payload, there is a whole plethora of type designations (see full list below). Judging by the short wheelbase and the rather big load on the photo I assume this to be a T50? This vehicle was in service of the J.M. v.d. Hout en Zn company in the city of 's-Gravenzande.

Yes! It is a DAF T 50 from 1949.

I have no information about further details.
