Could this be 1955-57?

1955 only, it seems (if the ventilation was introduced March 1st and the pointy indicators - about the same as on the Beetle - April 1st, then it's made March 1955)

Bumpers with towel rails January 3rd, 1958, new style bumpers (this type) August 29th, 1958 or just into MY1959 (again with towel rails for U.S)
Thumbs show a brakelight moved out to the taillights April 5th, 1957 (U.S) or starting April 30th, 1958 (intermittent, all produced cars by May 19th) elsewhere
It seems direction indicator lamps replaced the trafficators November 27th, 1959 (the rest of the world, U.S. mentioned in my comment above) or just into MY1960.

So, a non-US version, 1959-60 (early MY1959, to early MY1960)?
