The windscreen may or may not be a Mk III curved windscreen, but it's not clear enough to tell from the photo. Mk II and III windscreen frames were all chrome, while the earlier cars had windscreen posts painted the same color as the body. The windscreen frame in the photo, on the right side, appears to be chrome.
