Mystery 200 HP Benz travelling Europe? (update: Farman?)

• 

Nicolae sent two photos (click for second one) showing a massive car which presumably is a Benz and ads that he suspects the car to be a Blitzen Benz in touring disguise. Note that the sum of radiator, hood plus cowl are longer than the full passenger compartment..!  Well we don't think it's a Blitzen due to the long chassis. The sheer size of the monster at least suggests we're looking at one of the 'XL'  1912-1920 39/100 HP models or even - note again the ultra long bonnet - the ultra rare 22 litre 82/200 HP (in that case we should find a chaindrive). It has a similar long wheelbase yet slightly more modern than the 1913 82-200HP model. The photo was shot during a trip through Europe, but where and who are on board, this is not an everyman's motor. Any of you knows more about the car and what became of it?  Dream away with the thought that you open an old shed somewhere stumbling upon this baby.
