According to my source, the estate version of the Pennant was named Ten Companion, even with "the Pennant" 1957+ design

The rear door(s) look strange. Two doors, not one?

No left-side hinges seen and the glass looks like its divided in an unusual manner?

Normally a single rear door hinged on the right.

IIRC Sir Jack Drummond actually had a Hillman Minx estate car :)

So it appears therefore that the movie company had the rear door of the Standard modified to make it look like two rear doors of the Hillman Minx Estate in about 1951.

Was the fact that the Hillman had two doors important to what happened?

No , I don't see why? Could it be an aftermarket modified version from an independant body builder?

It looks very crude, not like the work of a specialist company. The registration number is that of their real vehicle, the Hillman Minx 'version break' as it is described on a French website.
