Estate was Mk2 only - early ones of both Mk2 body styles had unusual bonnet profile with indent ahead of what's described as "forward-facing vent" (also used on Mk1 and previous Genie). This was replaced by "rear-facing vent" with smooth slope gently emerging from front as unbroken low slope ending in ... um ... rear facing vent in front of windscreen. This one looks as if profile interrupted, so the earlier version which may be the rarer of the two on Mk2 and particularly rare on the estate, although overall more common as it appeared on Mk1 and Genie.
