For the most part yes, although there were some very minor mods elsewhere too.  The front was unchanged.

I thought it might be the Clark Gable XK 120, that had a larger boot, but while searching I found the puzzle car on sale in Holland.

Yes indeed. It's as simple as that!
The blurb doesn't say anything about it being modified but it does refer to it as a 120 OTS Special; 'OTS' simply stands for 'Open Two-Seater' but it does have a few unusual features which I suppose it what makes it a 'Special'; whether these were original factory changes or later ones I don't know.

1 point for you anyway and here are other views:
