CMP Umbau-Wagen

Another picture, found on the Axis History Forum. Writing on the back suggests this vehicle was left behind in Russia in 1943.

Taking a closer look at this picture, I noted it is in use as a radio truck or Fernsprech- bzw. Funk-Kraftwagen (Kfz. 16). The rear boot apparently has a fold down hatch instead of a fold-up hatch or two hatches opening the the left and right as on some other German trucks.

Also, the headlights have been replaced by more conventional ones (could they be the same as the ones on the Chev C8 in Australia )

Here's a better rear view of the body. It indeed has a fold-down rear hatch to serve as a radio table:
