Today I have done a bit more.
I attached the eyelets for the cab tarpaulin and the front wall of the loading area.
Then I played around a bit with the 3.7 flak and added accessories to see where what fits best...

Superbly done, refined and unique. You are doing an inspiring model.

I assume it is the Vandra Flak 43.
