Might be ordinary Mini jazzed up with accessories (including the grille/lights which was a complete accessory and not offered with normal Mini grilles - see Benelite mini grilles and therefore could be fitted to any non-Cooper Mini), or could be very early Cooper, or maybe even a very early Radford (who did use Benelite grilles). I'll try to pursue this ...
