Sorry, no. The modification has been done before August 1957

I've been trying for a long time now to find out whether it could be a rear window from Joch. Unfortunately, nothing about this is clear from the article. Personally, I think, there are big differences in the shapes of the windows

I am not at all familiar with early VW.
The louvres under the window of the modified car have been deleted and
the cooling aperture moved to engine cover.
It may be possible that the engine was also modified.

The article's text (clearly) suggests that the modification was carried out by a private individual
