P 445 A 1950 Gladsax?

Can this be a Gladsax? Another car on this site is according to a sibling to C.A. Winquist built by Gladsax. He says all bodies built on the 445 chassis and sold by C.A. Winquist were built by Gladsax. The car above ran its first years, 1950 - 53, for C.A. Winquist in Simrishamn where the coachbuilding factory of Gladsax is situated. Looking at the design and adding the fact that both cars have three hinges for the backdoor(-s), it seems as if they both were built by the same manufacture, perhaps Gladsaxr. Thanks to Dan Jansson for the pictures!
