Haven't looked it up but does the Unic have the bracing rods on the diff?

Good enough? Or is the attribution wrong? The radiator looks different but I do not recognise it for sure.
Maybe Napier Fifteen.
I think the "bracing rods" may be brake linkage.

I think both LE-plate cars have same grille and blind above windscreen so - if correct - both need changed?? But I'm not sure they look the same as this 1910 Napier picture

... jumps in and opens discussion (I had agreed until now but thinking again and looking harder at the picture assuming it might not be a Unic).

I believe it could be a 1923 Beardmore Super Taxi MkII
Note the extra glass behind the passenger doors - I've not seen those on Unic taxis or most others - The Beardmore was I think referred to as the Rolls-Royce of taxis?

... and not Napier I think, the proportions look wrong to me (so not decisive just opinion) also the grille is different at the bottom for your secondary query (LE 4905) which is a Unic...
