Yes, one piece front kick panels for early barndoors. I don't know for how long, but both mine and Lottermanns 20-02326 have it.
Reversed door handle, I don't know
More pictures will come soon 
Most of the pictures are even better than showed on my site. They are scanned in a very high resolution, about 4 times larger than shoved on my page.

This bus should be a 51 because it has already the passenger grabhandle, although it was removed (watch the 4 holes) to put that taxi accessory. |

I still believe it is earlier the 52. Have a close look at this full size pic.
Click on the picture.

Tonny, your TAXI pictures are TOP !! the BEST!
...here some more barndoors, as seen on old belgian postcards...
...behind the opening rear hatch, you see some bread, so must've been a Bakery-delivery Bus!!
...from a Belgian Army postcard: the 'highroof' model is much younger, but the bus behind that one is a BD !!
...okay, the sign at the house on the right says 'Brussels Wafels', but this 'Brabantia' Bus was photographed in ANTWERP (Mike !!! another one!!!) (OLV-Kerk) ...I wonder if that 'Crèmerie' still excists??
...the 'pink-white' Deluxe that I posted before, no more special details after the scan... longer trim and bigger reflectors were added later, after a crappy repaint, but EVERYONE would be happy to find this car in 2009!
...nice logo's on this panel in BRUSSELS
more to follow! |

...our friend Boss gave me this card years ago, it's still one of my favourites! Picture was taken in Eupen, 'Barrage de la Vesdre'
...and here's one he'll like!! from the EXPO '58 in Brussels, with a nice singlecab BD on it, check the DETAIL (next) for the WORKING man in the back 
...this 1950 or early '51 (10 window) was photographed in Charleroi |

Picture taken in March 1960. "This particular bus, chassis number "nought" is over ten years old and currently used for transporting scrap metal at the Wolfsburg factory".....
Surely this is #10 and not #0? Looks like the first photo has been flipped. |

The Brabantia firm still exists, at least it can be the same firm: http://www.brabantia.com/Flash/#/page/1/-/en/ It started in 1919 in the Netherlands and in 1948 opened an independent sales organisation in Belgium

Thanks for this info Bram! I also tought about the name 'Brabantia', they're well known for bin's, ... and lots of kitchen-era stuff... hey, you should contact their Dutch office to see if this Bus is still in their garage, no? |
