Greetings from Estonia! Sorry for writing in English, but my German is not very good. I am making a picture gallery of Estonian pre-1945 cars:

and I need some help in identifying 2 Borgward vehicles. During the times we have had various Hansa and Borgward passenger cars, trucks and buses in Estonia; for example:

But only few of them have survived, among them several Hansas and couple of Borgwards:

The first of the Borgwards is a 1940 2300 cabrio-limousine, still waiting for a restoration.
The second one is a bit mystery for me – is it a 2000 or 2300 and is it in fact a ´38 Hansa or a ´39-42 Borgward? Only one number has been discovered attached to the body: 455434. Only frame and body are original, the rest has been rebuilt. Can anybody tell me what it excactly is?
Similar problem occurs with this bus:

www.eag.unicweb.ee]
It should also be a Borgward, but which model (special military version? - I’ve seen war-time photos of M-B, Opel and MAN buses with the same body-type, also the Blitz below looks very similar)?
Is it possible to get from somewhere any kind of pictures of the original Hansa/Borgward 2000 and 2300 passenger cars from 1938-42? Either old photos or pictures of a restored car. In the internet one can find only a very scarce picture material. And how many 2000/2300 models has been survived at all?
Any kind of help is very much appreciated.
