Josh is right!
The windscreen aperture uprights are too 'thin'. Splitscreens have much thicker ones.

Why would anyone do this ? A '65 car would have normal wipers - which won't work on that 'split screen' . It looks like the car only has one wiper fitted!

What a bizarre thing to do! Now I look closely I can see it too. A quick check on the DVLA site says it's been off the road since 1987 so it's obviously been dry stored. Looks like a solid car though, and the wood looks ok, but why is that section cleanly cut out of the N/S? They don't usually rot just there.
