Moreover, this doesn't even resemble a typical purpose-built military truck of WWI, rather something civilian pressed into military service.

It was produced by the Unionwerke AG of Mannheim, sadly I cannot find any images of the truck. In 1917 the Reichswehr ordered the entire production of a year and gave out orders into 1918. Leftover units not ordered by the army were sold until 1921 when poduction was discontinued due to the difficult situation in Germany at the time.
