We have a very similar example here : /vehicle_374759-Datsun-113-1956.html I did some correction on the lighting and to me the grille seems to have 112/113 elements (or rather the silhouettes of that) : Here is 113 for sale, which also seems to have this side trim, although, note that it lacks bullet-shaped indicators on top, so everything here might not be original : From : https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s1031297232 I think I'll go with 113 on this one..
