East German double-deck bus, 1960s

The script says "post newspaper distribution." 

As a coproduction between the East Berlin BVB Omnibus-Hauptwerkstatt and the Waggonbau Bautzen enterprise in 1956, 85 of these double deck buses were built some of which were in use until 1974. The Do54 class operated in scheduled service in East Berlin until 1970.

Quite odd and strange design ,looks a bit cheap considering the UK were working on production of rear engined buses -Leyland Atlantean by the late 1950's.

That's some serious front overhang!
