Not a single guess from a Rookie or an Expert so it's up to the Pro's to sort out; it should take 5 minutes maximum...

A Kamm tail in 1956! I know the idea had been around since the 1930s, but it would have been very adventurous for a small company to have done this design in the '50s. Do you reckon the car's had a minor accident, and the body has been modified?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Is this the same car?

I reckon that is probably the same car, yes (although it seems to have lost its exhaust pipe!)
There you can see the original rear.  It must have been rear-ended at some stage and someone (unwisely in my opinion) decided to up-date it.
