Link to "barfi.ch" @supcoach You are right about it not beeing a prison vehicle, it is a troop carrier of Police called Manschaftswagen in Germany , Switzerland and Austria.

s13a ◊ 2022-05-11 19:16	Based on Type C chassis according to this : Also, it is an (open) police bus (or at least that's how it was portrayed in the movie). If not prison/police bus category, then which other category this should be? -- Last edit: 2022-05-11 19:34:16

andrepa ◊ 2022-05-14 00:06	Agree with you, it is an open single deck bus, but with a different conotation. We can approach the term prison/police from another point of view, as it is a open paramilitary vehicle in the tradition of 'Kübelwagen'.
