I cannot see any exhaust pipes from the hood/bonnet which might or might not exclude the Model K. At least it's rather unlikely as it was introduced in 1928. Instead it is not impossible to be a 1924-25 Mercedes 24/100/140 or a 1926-29 Mercedes-Benz 24/100/140. Link to "mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_24/100/140_PS
