Maybe the Nazis had an "O P A L"  organisation - something like that,  happening in the political world of the time?

Possibly because GM owned Opel in Germany they advised Longbridge that the Opal name was too close.

Austin had a chrome radiator Two Seater in 1933 - an Opal two seater briefly in 1934 reverting to Two Seater in 1935 for the new painted radiator model.
