Burmese Rolls Royce mystery

• 

An old photo of a Rolls, that seems interesting. And a Rolls that is used by the Prince of Wales makes it even better. This photo is sent in by family of the former owner. He wrote: "I wish to share this family photograph of my Great-grandfather's (in the back seat) Rolls Royce, in Burma (Myanmar) circa 1935/36. I know a little about the car, a 40/50hp as far as I know, with bright red bodywork. Apparently the car had previously been used by the Prince of Wales for his visits to the colonies under the Delhi-based British rule. 
There are stories of the car being commandeered by the Burmese troops during the Japanese invasion during WW2. The destiny of this car in unknown, other than stories of it being lost in the Burmese jungle during or after the fighting, though this is unconfirmed. We would love to know more about this car, the model, coach builder etcetera.

As a final point, as well as my great-grandfather, my grandmother sits by the radiator grill, my young aunts are sitting in the car, and my then five or six-year-old now late father looking somewhat bored on the running board".

Who can help confirm what car it is and perhaps what happened to it?
Have a happy Monday!
