Well spotted, there is a Standard Superior underneath. I wouldn't call it a prototype, rather an attempt to prolong its life with parts of another car. Locked for you to find the second car involved.

You won't find the solution there, you have to look at the picture and recognize the donor yourself. It's quite easy though.

Yes, doors and bonnet were taken from the Trabant P50.

One more point for you.
