Default 1931 SW Fordor internal trim

IÂ’m looking at a 1931 SW Fordor that the interior trim is painted - not wood-grained.
Is that acceptable, or do all SW supposed to have wood-grained trim?
Please let me know . . .

The Standard Fordor 160A has painted trim, not wood-grained.

The SW Fordor I'm looking at has no sun visors, has rear arm rests, cowl lights and the dome light is above the rear window
The dash panel & window bezels are painted Grey- I thinkn it is body color.
So what is it an A or B?

Unless you’re dead certain that it’s all original….don’t think for a moment that it’s as Henry produced it. It’s likely under gone more than a few changes in its 93years.
What do the interior handles look like? The dome light? The qtr window handles? Does it have extra trim under the window garnishes? Most wood grain painted over eons ago…possibly.
It may can be either a standard or town sedan depending on items as above. As you want it to be.

It's been 'restored' ~ it has the correct inside and outside door & window handles and quarter window handles, extra trim under the window frames. The dome light is elongated over the rear window but it doesn't appear to be scrolled on the edges.
So, it appears that the restorer didn't do it all correctly.

With the interior oval light over the back window, you have a 160B Town sedan. The dome light glass surround is different than the 28-early 31 dome light. Here is the correct dome light.
