Hard to really tell model. To me, the barely visible left rear bumper guard looks more like the Champion style.
Looks like the smaller Champion body as well.
Changing from Commander to Champion pending any better photo.

I think it's a Commander; the left bumper guard looks more like that of the Commander upon brightening the image, also the rocker panel molding has a distinct extension that was present on the Commander - you can tell as there's a slight gap separating the trim bits, hence I listed it as such. Another reason I think it's a Commander, the fender script is placed at the mid-level to that of the fender fent, below the recess. On the Champion the script is located closer to the top, above the recess.

Excellent observations, especially the rocker trim extension. I am changing this back.
Thanks!
