Hi Lang,
That is a nice example of a Super Snipe. I restored an ex-RAF 1945 Snipe staff car some years ago, photos here. The staff car has some differences such as wider wings to accommodate the 900-13 tyres, and the departure angle of the body is greater. It would be a shame to mess with your car, you could always "claim" it was an Impressed vehicle. This was done in the early part of the War when vehicles were short and a lot of staff cars were obtained this way.
