Those are: the rear bumper (or sheet metal pressing), how the front lights protrude slightly upwards, possibly indicators beneath the front bumper, the distance between the front bumper and the grille, how the hood/bonnet drops towards the lights, and so on. For a while I thought it might be a modified Triumph 2000, but I really don't know.

Shape looks exact match - subtle coke-bottle rise on rear cabin wing, wheel arch and sill profiles; indicators/sidelights are beside the headlights - I can't see anything under the bumper except some black paint (attempted rust treatment??). If the bumper is squint, it's probably because it's a knackered/battle-scarred example.
