There were 64 wagons in OSE registers in 1984. These wagons had originally a different body but were converted like this in 1962. I do not know if originally they were wooden low sided or high sided open wagons or even planked box vans.

They were 4-axle plywood body box cars.

After a little research i did today...:

63 high sided open vehicles divided to these two series.

:arrow: Λ7 20 73 676 0 001-013, ex- open vehicles Ιφπ 2110ΧΧ series
:arrow: Λ7 20 73 676 1 001-050, ex- flatbeds Μφπ 216ΧΧΧ series (the N7s we had posted in the other topic)

Firstly built around 1945 by some or all of the ''known'' builders i have mentioned many times. A.C.C., C.A.T.C. and P.-S.C.M. CO. and then rebuilt to Λ7 in 1968 by ΙΩΝ Β. ΠΑΣΧΑΛΗΣ, ΜΗΧΑΝΟΛΟΓΟΣ - ΗΛΕΚΤΡΟΛΟΓΟΣ ΜΗΧΑΝΙΚΟΣ, ΤΕΧΝΙΚΑΙ ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΣΕΙΣ, ΕΜΠΟΡΙΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΙΠΡΟΣΩΠΕΙΑΙ.

What about this one I found on the internet Jason? The construction looks very different but is it from the same batch?
