Another mystery car identification

Can any of you identify this car, and the nihil ante quae date, as it were? The photo was taken in Brazil.

It *almost*, but not quite, looks like a ca. 1927 Willys Overland Whippet. But the shape of the grille opening isn't quite flat enough, and there is apparently a big hood ornament that the Willys doesn't have. Willys didn't establish itself in Brazil until the early 50s; as far as I can tell, the only car made in Brazil in the 1920s was Chevrolet, so this is probably an import and so could be from anywhere. Styling details peg it for me at about 1927 or 1928.

That's the most likely-looking guess I've found yet!
