It does not look big enough to be a Ghost or a New Phantom so maybe it is an early 20 with an updated radiator and mechanicals.

One day, Australian coachbuilders Roger Fry and Son suddenly un-hearsed it and transformed the car into an open tourer, as seen below. Some sources claim it's a 1921, others don't. The hearse body was originally built by Woodall Nicholson on 106AG and nowadays lives another life as backpack on a 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom. Source Another appearance here:
