Identify these bikes! / Re: Old monstrosity form a scrap yard needs ID

I wonder what the original engine was. Apparently, it used a cardan shaft and must have been above 750 cc, so I am thinking a boxer.
Anyway, it looks like it will be really hard to ID these leftovers. And it's impossible to restore something that you know nothing about.

But "our" bike has teleforks on it, and the Wehrmacht bike has girders, and the wheel's different too.
 Not convinced....
It's not exactly the same, this is why I think it is a FN prototype of some sort.
I searched high and low for all sorts of classic tricars and the FN is the closest thing I could find.
There is nothing like the thing from my pictures on the whole internet. If it is not a FN, then it must be something even more wicked.

I think I found out what this is. It has to be some prototype of the FN Herstal tricar, which was used by the German Wehrmacht during WW2.
Extremely rare with only 7 in existence, so pretty much useless for restoration.

I don't know if I can gain access to the differential. The scrap yard is away from me.
The only old school bike I know of that has cast wheels is the Böhmerland. This thing looks a bit like a Böhmerland prototype or something...
But it could totally be a type of German war machine as well. Some weird trike thing that carries guns and personnel.

Most pre-war German bikes come with a similar rubber saddle. With that said, I have never seen a German bike that looked like this.
The frame is way too massive, the tubing is too thick, the cast wheel on the front adds to the overall heavy look of the thing.
I browsed the whole internet looking for something similar, but could not find anything close to it.

Hi forum, I was sent photos of this old mysterious thing that was found in a scrap yard in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe).
The thing looks heavy and massive and has something like a side car going on, or maybe it is a trike, I can't tell from the photos.
It looks to have a cast front wheel, like a Böhmerland.

Can somebody ID this?
Thanks!
