Next up helping id are the Brumm s001 Porsche 356 #10 car labeled “Avus” and the Top Model Collection 1954 Cunningham Ferrari 375 MM #20. I’ve found no photos or notes about the Porsche anywhere. I did find the TMC Ferrari in a photo, but no reference to the specific race or drivers. Any ideas?

Brumm must have based the Porsche on something.  Your link does say "Avus Type" so it may have been raced elsewhere, eg the Grenzlandring.
I'm not sure when the Germans introduced the system of allocating numbers by class and retained for the whole season but it was certainly early in the fifties.
