Yes, Jon, the late R-Type saloons are another example of a major change retaining the same letter code. And, as Hedd points out, these later AD bodies have the door overlap as part of the outer skin rather than a separate moulding. They also have a totally different scuttle in order to fit the raised bonnet and larger radiator. I haven't researched the change, but assume to later style door coincides with the raised radiator in August 1928 (which preceded the change to coil ignition in September); from memory the relevant chassis numbers were something like 67000 and 69000 respectively.
