Obviously not 1930 as stated, is this a late RN with rear petrol tank or an earlier car that's been modified?

My RN is Oct '32 with front tank. Is it an optical illusion, as the speedo seems to be about dead central to the dash, mine is to the left of centre with the control panel in the centre. Also, when were the rear panel ribs removed and made all welded.

Not enough pics, could be RM or RN, the rear seams were hidden when the 4 speed box, D type rear axle and rear tank were introduced. The door trim plates behind the grab handle are missing, lost or never fitted? If the latter it may be a standard RN saloon however the front wings look more like RM. It's certainly been modified, whats the junction box doing on the engine side of the bulkhead, was it inadvertently removed when the front tank was there?
