Cracking pic’s Paul!
I always wondered if the early Macks followed that Renault design, as the bonnet looks similar? Or was it the other way round?

This certainly looks interesting.An ÖAF, made in that period just after they were taken over by MAN, just before the MAN cab was transplanted onto their chassis (or the ÖAF badge was put on MAN chassis). Why it has MAN badges is unclear. All I can think is that MAN marketed both makes in Spain, under the same branding? Maybe the owner of the vehicle swapped the badges?
Interesting indeed!
I checked the first 10 pages of this site:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^That advert is for the FHK series with underfloor engine allowing a double passenger seat. One of the reasons I suffered with back problems in the sixties was through crouching under the wheelarch and removing the cylinder head to replace pistons and liners, every manifold stud etc had to be removed from the head and then you could just squeeze it out between the chassis rail and the cab floor. Then you had to do battle with the three piece sump! I worked on some sweeper versions that were LHD (I burned the wiring loom out on one, but that’s another story!) so the clutch and brake master cylinders had to be removed before the rocker cover etc could be removed. At least they didn’t suffer the cooling system problems that the later FJK tilt cab models with the same engine did, plus they pulled like a train compared to the Ford and Bedfords.

Spotted this Saurer last December near Augsburg, Germany.
I remember they were still around when I used to drive regularly to Switzerland in 2003-2004, though production had stopped in 1983. For Saurer fans, here’s a forum with thousands of them; no registerind needed:

Saurer 5DCS 160 hp with Pelpel cab.
Looks just out of paint, thought registered in 1962, six years after Saurer France ended its production.
Middle-East work to Kabul in the '60s. I did put a lot more pics of this outfit on p24 of the Middle-East Not Astran thread some time ago. Here’s the link:
I didn’t know some Berliet TLM 12 went as far as the Middle-East! Malissard & Savarzeix were taken over vy Transports Verney (Le Mans) in 1977.
A Berliet GLR 8 of the '50s belonging to the Bichon fleet (Nevers) involved in an accidents probably on the Nationale 7, together with a Saviem JM of Transport Ladoux of Aurillac.

Out of interest: what driveline did the TLM 12 have in that period?

Berliet 6-in-line, 12 litres, 240 bhp (SAE) upgraded to 250 bhp in 1968. Standard gearbox was a 5-speed Berliet plus splitter operated by a second stick. A ZF AK 6-80+ splitter was an option (12 speed).

Aided by an older lady on a VeloSolex?
Edited: Unless she was one of the drivers…

Thank you! 
Last picture is the TLM 10 M2 used in the movie “100,000$ au soleil” with Jean-Paul Belmondo! Great stuff!
