1910s Benz trucks?

Hi all, I see quite many British and US trucks from the WW1, more or less complete, more or less restored, but are there any Benz - Gaggenau trucks from the WW1 preserved, restored or not? I have seen in the net a photo of a green truck in the Mercedes museum and a fire engine, both probably pre-WW1. Any other survivors known, or even just major parts?

 

A few impressions from the Saloniki front:

A Benz built in Gaggenau was in New Zealand and was exported to Canada in the late 1980's. Restoration was completed in Canada.

I have the wheels and rear axle for a chain drive Benz of this period and know of one other similar axle in a collection. Therefore at least three were imported into New Zealand.

Some years ago I made contact with the Benz museum who where very helpful in suppling data to assist in identifying the model and year for the axle here.
