And you are sure of those names? Looks a bit strange for me that are a

I think the names are
Norway (7) - SLAKTER, POST, TOBAKK, KIOSK, TAXI, GARAGE, HOTELL
I have a KIOSK and a TAXI sign that came from a set bought in norway....
The TAXI sign I have in diffrent colors, but the KIOSK sign looks to be very
old, and I can remember to have had a HOTELL sign too in the past some time.
The KIOSK sign is a white 1x6 beam with black letters.
