I assumed that the Roco model was originally Klein Modellbahn, I have the confirmation after buying the latter brand’s model: they are strictly identical, except the bogies, some markings (wheel numbers) and some holes to the roof manoeuvering mechanism that were plugged on the Roco model.
Era IVb. On the Roco, towing hooks and brake wheels are to be mounted, and a brake block is missing.
As for its Tms 2-axle colleague, it would be interesting to have a rolled up roof for a loading scene (see in the documents below).
Roco: buffers, wheels and brake blocks painted.
Klein: ballast glued.
Taes (T9) type wagon, UIC original number 31 87 585 1 000 to 9 999. I don’t know the manufacturer nor the dates of manufacture.
