Hi Lolo,
This cabinet is for a Steyr or M-Benz 1500 with the open top troop carrying body, with this cabinet fitted the vehicle is a Fernschreibanschlusstrupp vehicle.
So this vehicle's prime function is for Teleprinters and the MG is for it own protection.
D-VORSCHRIFT D776 Fernschreibanschlusstrupp (mot) of 10 November 1942 has all this information.
Apart from having all the necessary teleprinter equipment, there is also all the usual MG related equipment, drum magazines, double and single spare barrel containers, Mg Ammo boxes etc., etc.,
It appears that the same cabinet can also be used for the Fernsprechwagen version of a Steyr/M-B 1500.
Cheers Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks a lot for all this information. It's en very good new for me because I'm restoring a Steyr 1500 A. I think in 1944 there is production of Mercedes 1500, so it was in a Steyr. How can I find copy of the D-VORSCHRIFT D776 Fernschreibanschlusstrupp (mot) of 10 November 1942 ? Because, now I would like to ty to complet the cabinet. Regards, lolo.

Hi Lolo,
I cannot put photos on this forum due to Photobucket changes, however if you can send me your e-mail address I can scan the D776 and send you photos that way.
The vehicle type used in the D776 document is a M-Benz 1500, but I do have one poor quality photo of a Steyr 1500 with this equipment fitted.
Maybe you could also tell me the chassis number of your Steyr, always interested in that kind of data. Do yo have a body data plate also ??
cheers PAUL

Hello SdKfz7,
Very good cabinet, is the D-Benz Aufbau data plate on the cabinet or for a M-Benz 1500 vehicle that carries the cabinet?
cheers Paul

Hello Sdkfz7,
Thanks for the pics.
Have you always your cabinet ? It's intresting for me because you have the door missing for me.
Regards,
Lolo.
