I've got a book picture of early Diva which looks a good candidate, but from different angle and has no quarterlight. It does look right for the door and the door handle (which is Rootes push-button - Hillman Husky, Commer PB and Lotus Elite). And then got distracted by the Heron Europa being adopted for the Swiss-made MBM, which was Peter Monteverdi's first production venture .....
