i believe that this camper is properly called a hanomag. i believe it is made in germany and the mb diesel may be original equipment. when in europe in the seventies i saw many different brands of car with mercedes diesels in them being used as taxies, seat, fiat, and others... also small trucks. when equipped with the mb diesels they would have a small chrome emblem that said "mercedes benz diesel."

not all were taxies. i often saw spanish chryslers i think they were called "barreros" or similar. they had a model that was a 66 dodge dart shell with a mercedes diesel and slightly different grill and such... rather like the canadian versions of chevy etc.
