I've recently seem some original sales posters for the 1930s Wolseley Wasp and Hornet... It appeared to me though that although each poster had 2 cars shown, that the standard car on each poster was the exact same image of the same car?
These were hand drawn renditions, rather than photographs, so I can understand why they would re-use the same image - but this suggests that the two cars had a lot in common?
A quick Google comes back with this image of the Wasp, which is pretty close to what I have seen - sadly the Hornet comes back with lots of the Mini-esque versions.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
