A Stanley Mystery body? (upd.: Chrysler, Oakland or Oldmobile bodied?)

Kelly Williams comes up with this issue that has been bothering him the last 40 years: "This car was sold in the 1970s as a 1917 Stanley, with this body. It has 1917 Stanley front fenders and engine. It was completely restored with this body, but I'm pretty sure that the body is not Stanley. It looks more like it's from the late '20s, and it doesn't match any sedan body ever pictured in Stanley literature. Also, note the curved ridge on the body above the rear fender - like it was meant to align whatever the real fenders were that came with this body.

I can't find any other picture of a small sedan body with that center section and window between the front and rear doors.  It has been suggested that it was some sort of commercial body, but seems small for a funeral car, and I haven't found any antique taxi pictures to match.

Thanks for your help..."
