Actually its a White and an International.  There are a few differences between the two, mainly that they each use their own engines etc and not common generic engine.  The rear corners of the crew area are curved on the Inter and square on the White.

White have a detail in the pressing for the front mudguards while the Inter are missing that detail by just being curved.

Yes but so are frogs! 

I'm guessing that the one in the image above is an M3A1 because of the ring mount over the RH front seat and the external hatches in the side for the radios.  The International version of the M3 was the M5 and had solid sides with radios housed in frames accessed from inside the hull.  (back in September last year, I was driving an M5 with a fractured Rt distal radius.      Only found out it was broken the next week, but gee was it painful changing a crashbox with my right hand, eventually needed to both steer and change gear with my left hand.)
