1957+ [ZB] ( by the type of wing chrome trim ).

I can see why you say that, rpcm, but it has the smaller rear window of the ZA - some of which had the different wing trim:

As you can see on the links, not all the [ZB] had the bigger rear window: only the Varitone had it. The Magnette Varitone [ZB] was a version commonly available with a two-tone paint, although some were ordered with a single colour. Nevertheless, this type of wing trim is a specific [ZB] detail.

Yes, only ZB Varitones had the larger window.

If original the chrome trim indicates it is a Magnette ZB.
