(Kfz. 61), and Peilkraftwagen a - bearing motor vehicle a - (Kfz. 61), abbreviated Peilkw. a (Kfz. 61), mit Fahrgestell des l. gl. Lkw. (o) - with chassis of the light cross-country lorry (commercial) - could not be differentiated, outwardly. They differed only by the radio equipment carried along.

The geschlossener Aufbau 4 - closed superstructure 4 - had doors in the rear wall and the right side. Until now, this version could be proven based on the chassis of the Büssing-NAG G 31, the Magirus M 206 and the Mercedes-Benz G 3 a.

The introduction of the Geländekette - cross-country tracks - made special mountings on both sides of the superstructure necessary. Now the eight Steckmastrohre 1,25 m - radio mast rods - were carried along in groups of for on the hatches of the rearward stowage compartments. In the late 1930s, the classification leicht of the Funkkraftwagen (Kfz. 61) was cancelled.
