Well spotted, Bas! The more time I spend with Playmobil, the more examples of similar things in the real world I notice! Who knows which inspired what?
Here are some more examples where Life was copied by PM: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14523.0
Mind you, some PM things differ considerably from the things I see around me, a reflection of the location of the designers I am sure. Schultute, yellow school buses, green uniformed police officers, ADAC vehicles, etc.

I think that the source of Playmobil's ideas is the real world, not the other way round.
Bearing in mind that Playmobil is a German based company, it is no surprise that their vehicles and uniforms are influenced by what is/was seen in Germany, hence the examples Graham B cites.
