That looks like the early 1950s; back then, one-piece windscreens were still the exception. As I haven't been able to find the photo yet, my first guess would be Ernst Auwärter.

Some Mercedes buses had one-piece windshields. (O 319, for example, although this is bigger than that.). Is this a Mercedes-Benz?

I wanted to make it a bit more exciting. ;)
By the way, where on earth did you find that photo??
I'll start with the 5000 TU ('49–'51) and the TU ('51–'52) – they're practically twins.

Büssing 5000 TU is right. I saw this picture on ebay a while ago.
