Hi Jan & Hendrick:
Those photos are both from Estonia post war.
I cannot find the thread anymore, cannot even remember the Forum it was on but I am quite sure that in a discussion of these two photos, the 6X4 to 4X2 theory is the one that was decided on.
Reasonable cargo capacity, better fuel consumption (less dry weight), less complexity and less maintenance.
And, of course you gained 4 tyres and 2 wheels. an axle and other spare parts!!!
Bill
