Good spot, Nick.
It might come down to how accurate we think the Source Book might be. According to it (page 240 et seq) there was a 1929 model of Arrow with doors that aligned with the bonnet moulding. But that seems to have petered out of production by 1931 with only 1 metal bodied car having been produced in February of that year. I suppose it is just possible that this is that one car - or that the Source Book is off in its supposition of production figures?
But upon reflection, and looking at the images in the Source Book again, the scuttle and rear edge of the bonnet of those cars don't seem to match up with this image? They are sloping whereas this image seems to show them as vertical?
