I would say it's 1962 or 1963.
Fish eye lens started in 1962. Wider rear hatch started in 1964.

Resurrecting...
definitely it´s not a Barndoor. Recently the owner put the bus for sale, for something around 25.000 USD:

And here, dozens of pics:

I coldn´t see any piece of a barndoor, not even small piece (except the vin plate).

It looks worse than the pictures posted earlier on this thread.
Someone took it apart some more?

I can't tell what year it is... I think it's a Brazilian Bus so it has a mismatch of parts.

o It has a split front bench seat but has the front seat mounts for an earlier bench seat.
o The split bench seat mounts on the front seat pedestal look to be poorly welded in.
o Push button decklid in the back
o Barndoor-style cargo doors ( I think?) - these were used on Brazilian Buses
o Dash board with fuel gauge hole - so 1963 or later?

I'm confused but definitely not a 1950 Bus.

I see a bunch of bad welding in the photos.
