There are 45+04 in grey and 45+94 in lizard green colours active in Büchel, 45+34 is dead....
45+00 is very very interesting. Don't spotted for a long time

Hi Olli, thanx for the well-informed comments. As the Tonka was in a lizard scheme, it was 45+94. Always the same with the red covers on: you have to see both sides to be fully sure ; we only saw the right-hand side

Thanks for the corrections!!
