I can't believe this is an 87 - much more likely to be a 57 I'd say

On the Coachbuild website it says it's "probably" a T87.
The T57 was only made until 1947 and since the puzzle car is from 1949, when the T87 was being made, I didn't question it.
But it does look far more like a front-engined car than a rear-engined one, so you're probably right!

Here's a better photo than the one used for the puzzle:

Look at the positve camber of the rear wheel and the rather short wheelbase.

I guess it was more probably a Tatra 57 than a T87 chassis they used for this:
