I bought recently from Adelaide a car identical to the car in question with respect to the bodywork/ windscreen etc, it also has an aluminium scuttle identical to an Austin manufactured one and this also turns to a steel rear section behind the doors with no swage either. It was a barn find last used in 1956 still with a South Australia tax disc in the window, its car number was registered as the engine number M60171 making it around early 1928 assuming the original engine intact as everything else was, interestingly a scuttle vent exists in front of the windscreen. As there are no chassis stampings on cars of this time in question they must have been registered by engine no. The hood is not as Holden cars a' sort of pram hood' but a standard Austin works style of the time. The lucas chummy scuttle lamps are fitted as standard at the windscreen on those awful brass windscreen supports. hope this helps
