Good evening Lew,

Looking in Malcolm Green's MG Sports Cars, it looks lik the bodies were 
definitely Allingham bodies.

Green states:

"The Airline Coupe was built at the instigation of MG dealer W H Allingham of 
Stanford Place, London W1, but unlike other special bodied cars, these models 
were offered as stock MG products alongside their other catalogued cars."

>From this, I would say that Carbodies would NOT have produced any Airlines.

Included are three great pictures of a blue PA Airline TH 6498, including a 
good interior shot, but alas, not showing the interior light. 

As for the rear fender reflectors, these would NOT have been fitted 
originally, and would certainly detract from the flowing rear lines today.

Good luck with the rebuild and the Airline Register.
