I remain skeptical, sorry. You are saying that 9 inches was added between the early and late 140's. That just doesn't sound right to me. All the literature I've ever seen lists the wheelbase of the PV, 120, and 140 series cars (including all coupe, sedan, and wagon variants thereof) at 2.6 meter, or around 102 inches. The 1800's were shorter at 2.45m/96.5 inches, and the 164's were longer at 106.3 inches. But even though the 164 is only around 4 inches longer than a 144, the difference is easy to spot with the naked eye. But I don't see any difference between an early 145 and a late one.

1974 144:


Even a 164 - where only 4 inches seems readily apparent to the eye:
