Thanks very much, everyone. With the help of several people, Stuart Roach in particular, I have now sorted out the confusion.
I hadn't realised that there were two distinct versions of the AD Chummy. The later versions had AE-style scuttles and doors, but used the earlier floorpan and were narrower than a true AE. I think that I've whenever I've seen one of these later cars, I've always assumed that I was looking at an AE. We live and learn!
The body tub that we have here is the earlier pattern and will have beaded doors.
