Next, what is beside (to it's left) the grey Renault, and possibly behind too?

Thank you! Same car behind it as well? Looks very similar.

No, I'm going with Opel Commodore Coupe behind.

ETA the big thing at right angles to the rest, I mean.

Agree with you, but between it and the Renault?

Not many cars had oval headlights: Ford Taunus?

Stop teasing and give the whole photo, some interesting '60s German metalwork there!

Here you are...

Original is of a Thai Airways Caravelle in Stockholm 1970. Nothing to do with cars!

Agree with that, indicators are in the right place too. Spotted a Peugeot 204 on the far left of the image - another car with the rarity of oval headlamps.

The Caravelle HS-TGL was a lucky survivor.

2 years earlier (1968) it had been involved in a mid air collision with a Thai Air Force Beechcraft whilst involved in some air to air filming. Presumably the close up shot was too close. All 6 in the Beechcraft were lost, the Caravelle landed damaged but safely.

The registration was eventually passed on to a 747.
