In college I had a 1959 Rambler two-door wagon. The front and rear bumper were identical. The doors weren't but they had an extruded window frame, kind of like a VW Type II, that were.
The carburetor bolted directly to the flat head, no intake manifold. The exhaust pipe clamped to the side of the block, no exhaust manifold.
There were prolly other steps I didn't notice to keep the parts count down.

Technical characteristics
The Ami has a symmetry between its right and left sides. In order to save on the production of bodywork parts by limiting their numbers, these are the same on each profile or as the front bumper is the same as the rear bumper. Thus it benefits from doors with opposite openings, classic for the passenger and antagonistic for the driver, the doors being identical with the hinges on the same side.... There are no other doors, making the storage spaces accessible only from the two side doors.

Accessory dashboard undertray, just like the VW Beetle.
