I checked on 'The Massive Development Chart' and found this listing:

It is B&W. When in doubt, develop it in Diafine, non-temperature dependent. Doesn't matter at what IE it was shot at, Diafine will work.

I just checked the link above and it takes you to the main page, not the page for Orwo films. Select Orwo films on the left and keep clicking the links to you come to the page for older Orwo films, about 3 clicks.

Orwo NP20 is probably the same as modern Efke KB100 or R100, though with older film it's often helpful to use a low-fog developer (I like HC-110 at Dilution E or G, agitation every 3rd minute, and 2 or 3 times the Dilution B time, respectively).
