For sure it has the wider radiator grille which makes it a 1960-61. The lack of overriders is also correct for those years.
Because of these changes those models are usually referred to as the "b" version.

Then [W 120] (180 b or 180 Db) or [W 121] (190 b or 190 Db)?

The only visible difference between those models I know of is the is the chromed side strip just below the side windows. That goes all the way round, beneath the rear window, to the other side.

W 121 with that strip: Link to "de.wikipedia.org"

I cannot see such a strip which makes me believe it's a [W 120].

Because of the Taxi sign, it is much more likely to be a Diesel version than a petrol.

Conclusion: I believe this is a 1960-61 Mercedes-Benz 180 Db Taxi [W 120].
