That mean there are 2 different cars! ...custom-made? I'd rather believe it's an independant body manufacturer product that maybe had been built in several samples?

There is also a thick chrome side flash which runs horizontally from the rear light to join the painted area at the top of the curve under the door handle. The chrome reflects differently in the pictures, sometimes looking pale (main - daylight) or dark (thumbs - night).
