This picture has already appeared on several places on the site. After some research, this appears to be the prototype, which was tested in Zurich in early 1950. This prototype was never sold.

The product was sold to three cities in 1953: Yverdon-les-Bains in Switzerland (2), Gent in Belgium (3) and Kinshasa in Congo (12).
One (from Gent) still exist in the transportmuseum of Antwerpen.
