But a possible explanation - maybe all 924s for I had side repeaters as part of the Italian spec, and this format is actually the pre-81 version - larger and slightly out of position (further forward) than the standardised fit for 81 onwards. Also in passing the number plates look strange - rear too big and front odd with the black dummy behind - but maybe this had normal modern I plates but removed and clumsy retro 70s mock ups were fitted for filming??
