That exact photo (same containers and people visible) was on the first page of Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet 1924-09-15, for an article about Ägir arriving in Stockholm to unload 175 Ford cars (of a total load of some 300 cars). The text below the image explains that it had been bought by Ford recently and rebuilt to transport cars, so the photo was, if not taken in Stockholm on that day, at least probably not long before 1924, narrowing down the date of the photo slightly.
