Maybe it will help to see a version of the image before being 'cleaned up' to remove graininess.

Was it based on a specific model fiat in 1945?

I don't have any more details on the donor chassis other than the fact that it was a Fiat. Likewise, I don't know the exact year of the build, only that it occurred in the 1940s.
