The fenders on this car are a bit more "ballooned?" The grill
treatment sucks. This is a true Triumph Standard mod?....

Yes, but I would emphasize that they were simply "experimental" or
"prototype" cars. Grilles are a matter of taste; in this case, it
appears that -- to give these prototypes a slightly different 'look' --
a grille was simply borrowed from the Standard Pennant and stuck in the
3A apron, with a bit of chrome trim around the edges of the opening.
I'd have to assume that IF this car had ever made it into production, a
yet different grille treatment might have been offered.
Again, though, these were factory "mules" if you were, cobbled together
to test feasibility, etc., et. -- that's all.
