This photo is from the book "Armored Vehicles of the Argentine Army" by the historian George Rauch. Observe the Swiss helmet and the Harley Davidson "Big Twin". The car is a German Vidal Tempo G 1200 4x4 four-wheels steering, 2cyl engines, 6-volt car battery.
Vidal Tempo G-1200. The tempo series off-road T-1200 (1935) and G-1200 (1936-43) were recognized vehicles of German fabrication. They were also known as Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werke GmbH manufactured in Hamburg. The company was founded by Oscar Vidal. We found this photo and info on Wikipedia. The 3 crowns on the tag appear to indicate that this auto is Swedish.
