The Fur & Roses mystery. (UPDATE II : 1920-24 NAG ? )

We received this photo in a damp and cold Amsterdam. According to sender and grandson Hans Reijwart the pic was made probably after 1923. The gal with fur and rose is his grandmother- Tootje Meschendorp - who married early January 1923. Maybe this is an engagement photo? Though the general shape of the car does ring a bell with us, we must ask you one more. Start like us with an enlarged view. For sure this RHD is not a small car. these wide louvres, the V-shaped radiator. It could be German, it could be French, it could be... Your opinion is most welcome.
UPDATE II by Thomas Ulrich:"I am quite certain that this car neither Opel nor Delauney Belleville or Fiat. I think it's a Berlin built NAG 10/30PS C4 built between 1920 and 1924. For Opel the radiator is too much rounded. Fiat and Delauney Belleville didn't have such sharp German Type Radiators."
UPDATEs I came in from Anders Svenfelt: "Opel, probably with large 4-cylinder engine." Thomas Rudolf:"DELAUNAY BELLEVILLE P4B, 12 HP. They were LHD or RHD." Matthew Perkin:"I reckon this could well be a FIAT 510S." J. ter Linden is convinced , this is na Opel. Edit. Will be continued...

Even if I was unable to view the enlarged version of the photo, I'd strongly agree with Thomas Ulrich who suggested that NAG in Berlin could be the manufacturer of this car. I'd also plead for the C4 10/30 HP model built from 1920 until 24.

I've quite a number of contemporary pictures of this very model in my collection. For comparison please see my online gallery of NAG cars:

The dinstinguishing feature is the radiator which has a different shape than the v-shaped ones that could be found on other German automobiles (e.g. Audi, Opel, Horch, Stoewer) after WW1.
