It appears that some time in late 1932 when Austin was updating the saloon model from RN to RP a number of cars were made using up some of the earlier model parts with some of the newer features, no rear seams, new dash, rear tank, 4 speed box. However the RN body shell is slightly wider at the back than the RP. The front bulkhead mouldings are different, as are the doors. The window moulding on the RN is parallel to the window sill, whilst on the RP it is slightly dished.
Either way, what you have is a late 1932 saloon. I think if you do manage to find the body number on the transmission tunnel, it will say RN. (It's not on the removeable cover, but on the horizontal surface of the tunnel near to where the cover fixes.
Happy hunting!
