 Just to be sure: was there a Datsun version of this similar model ever made ?

 By the stance of the rear wheels you can see it's got a swing-axle, unlike the A35. This is a Standard Companion (which is in fact the Ten Estate) had swing-axles as well (like the Triumph Herald).

 Good identification DynaMike.... :)

What was the Triumph model version, was it 'Companion' also? Would that be the normal 'export' version in the US?

 That's a good question. I was a bit surprised by the 'Triumph' writing on the rear... Were these Standards sold in the US as Triumph, or was it just a private 'joke'??

 The position of the script on the rear (Triumph) matches the main picture from the movie so I guess its correct.

It appears from other pictures of the Standard version the script was lower by the number-plate.

Interesting to note the rear door is also hinged on the other side for LHD.

 Wow! Nice find Sunbar. I guess it's a rather rare car overthere.

You guess right. Almost every Triumph in this hemisphere has been a convertible two-seater sports car.
