Probably the same car in three different actions.

Short film of 1'34 easy to find on the web.
Screenshot from the better copy (Link to "www.cinematheque.fr") from 1:29 until 3:35.

EXTRA BONUS !
At 16mn, another short "If we only knew" (1913) with a car (Phaeton ?) with plate CAL. 28914 (@ 19'48).

Wow, 1902? This has to be one of the oldest submissions!

Automobile Parade still predates it by 2 years, though.

Essentially the car is similar to a 1896+ Benz velociped nicked 'dogcart' in the UK.
Especially the rear end in 2:43 with engine compartment in sight.
Possibly manufactured under license like the Arnold Benz, but only 12 were made,
compared to 1200 Velos.
The seats are much more comfortable than those from the Benz.
