This is when it had the Barker boattail from FA2513 (The Maharajah of Bhavnagar's 6½ litre fitted by Coopers in 1938). See Hay or confirm from Peter Hageman (who reunited the body with FA2513). They will also confirm. Photo on page 105 of Bentley: The Vintage Years by Hay. Same body, same mudguards, same toolbox, same everything..."

I have flipped the photo below (as I think the photo has been reversed erroneously at some point).
I have placed it next to Claire Hay's photo of RN3050 (see above) when fitted with the body from FA2513. They are obviously identical (except for the location).
Text below Michael (Clare) Hay's RN3050 photo reads: "More Bodysnatching! When the Maharajah of Bhavnager had his 6½ Litre, Chassis No. FA 2513, rebodied by Barkers' in 1938 to the form shown on page 71 of Johnnie Green's 'Fifty Years of the Marque,' the original Barker boat-tail was bought by Coopers who modified it suitably and fitted it to this 4½ Litre, Chassis No. RN 3050, registered UC 2801."
