Dockland with yellow truck - and the crane's boom in orange Dockland with red truck - and the crane's boom is now silver - the more seldom version. Even the VW Transporter is the one shown on the box.

Quite interesting that the box shows a crane with the imprinted number 085 on it. This one has not been seen so far - possibly there is no such version available?

The ship shown on the box shows No. 53 - the ship on the toy scene does not carry any number.
crane No. 85 - never seen where is the number ?
  

Volkswagen Transporters made by JEAN. Cars made of at least 2 parts and clipped together. "D.B.G.M" and "W.Germany" are imprinted on the bottom. More colour varieties than shown here possible.

My gratitude to Mr. H. Herrmann for the picture.
  
The Dockland trucks. Inside the roof there is a tool number - underneath the loading area "W. Germany" is imprinted - manufacturer unknown to me. Other colours and colour combinations known. These cars were as well delivered with the Dockland.
