Unsure if this should be labelled '2-axle motor car' or something else: based on what I have seen in the photos there were 3 models of electric trams in Pyongyang. I updated the database also using photos from postcards that are sold online.

It is okay! Tram models in Japan usually named as 10-series or 100-series etc. The only difference between series 100 in Tokyo and in Pyongyang may be the manufacturer and car-design.

I am interested in Japan tram history and know some japanese hieroglyphs, maybe I'll find something about car producer of Pyongyang trams.

Visually they do look like trams used in the rest of Japan, I'll keep trying to find more photos (And there is fleet size data by year for Pyongyang on the busan tram website). Busan got american trams during the Korean war.
