Doesn't the Mercedes star sometimes just indicate the powerplant under the bonnet??

They give the exact same info for both trucks, one looks indeed like an Axor (cabover) but I can't find an Axor look like the other one or like the one here ...

hmm here it is described as a "Mercedes-Brasil-Hauber" this means it's a long nose from Brazil ?!

Well, obviously it is long nose, and from MB Brazil (as I do not recall having ever seen these MB trucks in Europe)
As posted above, it looks like the L-Series, not sure it is that though. May be something built just for race (like "silhouette" race cars).

Strange since the Axor is a cabover, ( no hood )
