The tyres look a bit too beefy considering the overall style of the car. Is it a replica?

No, it's a genuine pre-war car.  The tyres probably aren't pre-war though!

Not a Wolseley, but you're right about the year!

The radiator shell design suggests BSA, but the rest of the car not so much. ???

I'll give you a clue: it's not a BSA!

Aero Type 20 (aka 1000), could be a Type 18 (aka 662) as well, because the later Type 18 with front brakes (introduced in 1933) look almost identical to the Type 20.

Yes - it's the Type 18 - 622.  Well done.

Here's a picture of it with its German plates:
