If they are the same then it is a bonanza to the Caravelle folks. The
Alpine/Tiger windshield I found for $139. The Caravelle..., $745 plus $80
shipping from a vendor named "Mr. Fiat." So, that would be no advantage to
the Alpine/Tiger folks.
But, yes, they do look similar. The glass matching can be tricky though. I
have a '64 Studebaker Daytona. The difference between the sedan and the
convertible/wagon models is a barely noticeable 1/2" in the far upper
corners. So, you can be that..., close and still not. The Studebaker
windshield is almost impossible to find and I eventually settled on the
convertible/wagon glass with the corners cut back. The guy used an angle
grinder and then I smoothed the edges with a Dremel and a v-e-r-y light
touch.

I could be mistaken but I noticed the windshield glass on a 1962 Renault
Caravelle that was shown in the February 12 Bring a Trailer Daily Mail
seems to be identical to the Tiger's windshield. The rake angle and corner
radii in particular look the same. Does anyone know if Rootes used a
windshield that was in common with other vehicles' windshields?
