All the DS420's I recall had a rear side window who's rear edge sloped to follow the roofline, rather than this rather vertical variation. It's clearly an early car, as the 420 launched in late '68 into 'early '69, but I have never seen one like this before.

This one is showing the quarterlight divider as a vertical edge and I can't tell if the quarterlight has been filled or is there as normal but not apparent because of the lighting.
