This model featured is the RF (2) fabric variant.
BUT, both RF (3) and aluminium RKs have the fillet and that style of slightly shorter windscreen, along with a separate peak.
I wondered whether the fillet below was something to do with their vision for the next bonnet level rise with the RG/M... but of course that had a completely different all steel construction.
Tony, do you have limitless supplies of LCC magazine? What we desperately need to find is the report from a year previous (or more) when or IF the RF (1) variant, which is only seen in one factory photo, ever was released to the public as the first fabric body. It is largely the same pattern as the R Saloon. But no-one has ever seen a (real) one.
The "move to the wide doors" was featured in the Grey mag a year or so back, but its archived here too:
