That looks like post-war carpetbagging. Charlie Chaplan there and the other two look like French military. The Germans were put to work manufacturing Beetles as part of the reparations process. Since they're left-hand drivers, this can't be the lot which was exported to Britain.
Was the factory in Wolfsburg even in the French-controlled zone?
Those split-window Beetles would fetch more than any new Porsche each, if it was possible to go back and get them

 

Wolfsburg was far enough North to be squarely in the British Zone, but insofar as reparations go, the Brits used them to just move field personnel, but as soon as it became clear that looting Germany would be just as bad as when we looted Germany after the Great War, the British, French and Americans decided to build up West Germany, in order to give them a stable, and growing, economy.

 

It also helped stabilize Western Europe against the Warsaw Pact.

 

The Soviets did them a favor, by looting old machinery. Which gave way to new modern tooling

 

Too bad the Japanese didn't bomb Detroit. All the car companies would've got new machinery.

I think this was scanned backward, as I recall this was at the first New York World's Fair, and I can't see everyone driving backward of how we Americans normally drive--pass on the right

 

Or wishful thinking by some neo-Turncoat photographer?
