Not sure what to make of it...
I think you can very safely assume it's a legitimate car, Rollson (and Derham as well) did a nice little business with custom and small series semi-custom jobs on the 120 chassis. Rollson in particular was known for the "razor-edge" formal sedan style. Pictured is a similar 1941 by Rollson, this the ex-Kevin Gaffney car; this was done on the 160 chassis short wheelbase and the conversion was done on a sedan. Since the body and interior from the cowl rearwards was discarded, starting with a 160 was a smart economic choice.
Also pictured, another Rollston razor-edge job, this on a 1934 1101 chassis, this one a bit more severely formal with the vertical split windscreen. Owned at one time by the Vanderbilts who bought it 2nd hand to help out a friend in financial distress (or so the story goes).
