I do not believe this to be an unknown T50, registered OW 498 (GB). Look at that dynamo type thingy at the bottom of the radiator - would seem to indicate a T44 or T49 (photo of 49471 included as means of comparison). The length of the bonnet and the track also seem more like that of the smaller touring Bugatti.

PS. Yes indeed, very slow day at work. Why do you ask?

Thank you Johan

I share this observation. But it is not a type 44, the wheels are those of a type 49
