If I understand this correctly LP means an ordinary truck carrying loads on its own chassis while LPS is a truck pulling a trailer as above. I believe it's from the latter part of the 50's. Edit: When searching trucksplanet I found this page http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=784 which told me that Kässbohrer (Ulm) built cabins to various German truck chassis. -- Last edit: 2013-04-01 14:11:42
andrepa ◊ 2013-04-01 14:06	Hi zodiac, thank you for hints beeing quite plausible, as it is not as heavy truck as 334 would be. LPS 315 in your 3rd link is Kässbohrer cabin + trailer for e.g. i am convinced it is LPS 315 by some coachbuilder -- Last edit: 2013-04-01 16:05:39
