Looks very Rolls-Royce-ish but maybe a Bentley.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I or II Standard Steel Saloon, but your comment may be correct, a closer view of the point where the edge of the bonnet meets the radiator could help.

To quote someone you know well…
johnfromStaffs wrote To quote from Graham Robson's book; "Rolls-Royce and Bentley: Volume 1, Standard Production Models 1945 to 1965 (Motor Racing Publications 1984)": -

"Externally, it was well-nigh impossible to pick a V-8 engine from a six-cylinder engine car, except that purely for detailed styling purposes the front ventilation air intakes were now coloured black. There were no new badges, no new items of decoration, and no gratuitous changes for change's sake. There was even only one exhaust outlet,(alongside the left-side rear overrider) for this new engine."
Have we a case of painted black here?

What are the give-away, Rob?

I think from previous comments on other pages that the bonnet side edges on genuine RR line up with the top corners of grille surround. If they're out of line - as here = bodged Bentley.

Question, dsl and others: when facing impossibility to say whether Silver Cloud I or II, do we prefer to call it 'I' by default?

That's what I do; same for Bentley S. But while I probably tidy up a fair number of each as we go, I'm not one of the big guns on these (my main allegiances lie in different directions ...).
