Vintage car query

ISSUE 283 is as excellent as ever. However, I am somewhat bewildered by the photograph on page 77 in the feature of the Cholsey & Wallingfor­d Railway. I'm not sure about the car, which was described as a 1947 Standard 8.

It looks very much like an Austin 10 I once owned; the only difference is in the sloping back window. I have a large collection of car photograph­s, but not much on Standards – perhaps somebody could give me some clarificat­ion?
