Well done, Colin! I too concluded that it is probably the 1928 car that was shown at the New York Show in January 1929, which could explain the deep-dished steering wheel. At first I thought the gear lever was a later ball-change one, but enlarging the image to pot here I can see it is the correct long gate-change lever that was fitted to coupes.
But is the base of the dashboard straight? It certainly doesn't appear to have the curved clearance for the gear lever normally found on coupes. This car also has the shorter door change fitted to early RF fabric saloons, together with the early-type door latches. As far as I know, the pleats on the door trims were not a usual feature on the coupes, either.
