A 1917 Tirol mystery... (upadte: 1911/12 Austro Daimler ?)

1917 car

The picture was taken somewhere in Tirol  in 1917.

The car belong, from what I know, to an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, the car end up somewhere in Transylvania where later was destroyed.

The question is if someone can indicate the type and model of the car in the picture.

Thank you in advance

You can see a similar bodywork on a 1911 Mercedes 18HP Populaire (Allg. Automobil Zeitung 1911 No.7 p.7, http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?aid=aaz&datum=19110212&zoom=33). However, the shape of the radiator suggests that it is not a Mercedes but an Austro-Daimler, the year 1911 or 1912.
