If a Büssing, with Norwegian bodywork.

Left some BMC Estate, or? Austin Farina or so?

as Roman 112 and Ikarbus are mid 1970ies derivate of MAN Krauss-Maffei Metrobus 1959
together with Büssing they are
predecessor of VÖV Standart bus
Link to "de.wikipedia.org" early
Link to "de.wikipedia.org" late
but i would go for Büssing T 6500 Trambus with norwegian bodywork again

@andrepa:
After having read your suggestions on several Norwegian registered (not a lot of travelling in those days) vehicles here on Imcdb I have to explain a few things.
- There is a great tradition in the Nordic countries of Coach building as well as making bodies for funeral cars, caravans, ambulances, HGV’s and other cars used for carrying stuff. Up until some 20 years there were TWENTY (20) major coach builders EACH in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
- A long winter and generally a colder climate makes it necessary to have a good heater, a bigger alternator and tougher tyres.
- Also legislation puts bigger demands on manufacturers wanting to sell their products. Such demands can be better brakes, crash tests (E.g. a barrel with one metric ton of sand is thrown to the A pillar of a HGV. Volvo F6, F7, F10 and F12 can withstand such a test but rarely the similar looking Renault, Saviem, DAF and Magirus) and emission control of the exhausts.

All this makes it much, much easier to import E.g. Volvo's and Scania's alredy built to cope with the legislations and climate to Norway than to rebuild a Fiat or a NAG or a MAN or whatever you have suggested.
This doesn't mean they don't exist. What I'm trying to say is that it's far more likely to find a Volvo or a Scania than any other HGV or coach builder.


Now I shall try to identify the coach above:
Because of the marks on the bumper I strongly think this is a Scania-Vabis, possibly from the second part of the 50's.
One suggestion to the coach builder is this 1957 Larvik http://www.rhf.no/lokalavdelinger/b-5377.jpg , but I'm far from certain.
