The cars in that race were Ferrari 375, listed; Maserati 4CLT/, listed; Ferrari 125; Ferrari 340/F1; Talbot-Lago T26C; BRM P15 MkI and Simca-Gordini T15. Any idea for the two still 'unknown'?

The badge in front of the #48 at least looks a lot like the ERA-badge... So maybe it was the Penya Rhin GP in 1946 or 1948? Both saw ERAs: Link to "www.chicanef1.com"
