Compare the cabin with the one of the STEYR 1500 truck below.
To the end of the war, the Germans did not have much resources any more. They started to built even trucks with wooden cabins to save the metal for more important parts...

That's a Mercedes DB 701, not an Opel Blitz. Opel already had a wooden back to their cabs and were therefore 'allowed' to keep it. Mercedes built licenced copies of the Opel Blitz, but fitted the Einheitsfahrerhaus, which was also fitted to Mercedes 4500A trucks and the equivalent Maultier.
