Appears to be some form of a Staff Car

It would really be helpful if you could provide a better side view of the vehicle. Where is it? Anywhere near you? I have a book called "Mercedes Benz Parade and Staff Cars of the Third Reich" by one "Blaine Taylor". In it I find several photos of vehicles which bear some resemblence to the one in question. The closest match that I can find is with a Type L 1500A eight-seater German Army Staff Car. Apparently a 1941-42 model that saw a lot of action on the Eastern front according to the description. There appear to have been several different versions of the L1500A built and this might not be an exact match but it's the closest I could find. Once again a side view if it exists would be most helpful.
