It is all about the coachbuilder, the name of his creation, the chassis make and type underneath and the year this was presented at which occasion...
This body style [or similar] was fitted to a couple of different chassis. I don't know who the body builder was but this one looks like a Lancia.

Looks like a Lancia because it is, yes.

This is the Lancia Lambda 'Airway', designed by Joseph Emberton, built by the Albany Carriage Co. I think it was based on a 7th Series Lambda. Also, this was shown at Olympia in 1927. Most of this car still exists, and was rebuilt. The car above, had a single rear seat. The Airway Lambda that was rebuilt has a wider 2 seat rear compartment. This actual car was sold to an Australian buyer, a year or two after it was built, and spent many years here.
You are right of course. A point. I think personally that the restoration is more of a reconstruction that has only a slight resemblance to the original. If you study pics of then and now, you will find many more changes.... Still, it surrvives. The pic by Dmentd.
More detail regarding this Lambda's history.
