It’s got a solid A-pillar and much bigger quarter windows, and the grille centre divide is more solid as well.
It’s a strange one!

It is close but the car that was asked about has a split windscreen and running boards
Maybe that car but a later model year ?

I wonder if it’s mislabeled as an Opel. Searching for Opels of that era I don’t see many with suicide doors.

I think that’s the best match so far - although the original’s squared-off windscreen, and the side-windows arrangement don’t match…

However as the blurb says, it wasn’t unusual for individual bodyworks to go on the chassis, so maybe this is a body variation commissioned by the Army (?)

Wrong curvature to the side of the lower part of the grille (convex vs concave).
Wrong shape to the top of the grille.

I think the grille is covered over - see how its top right corner overlaps the bonnet cover?
