Am I seeing things or is that hood a little longer than normal?

That is a photo of the only Russian made GAZ-AAAA from 1936 that was made. It was a prototype for future development which never materialized.
It was initially fitted with standard GAZ-A wheels, but later, when entered in the Karakum-Pamir Rally (which included lots of driving in the desert), it was fitted with large balloon wheels. The cab was from a GAZ-4 pickup. The extra wheels on each side, behind the front wheels, was a freely turning wheel to help it better clear ditches and hills, etc.
Here are some other photos of that GAZ-AAAA where you can see the various experimental configurations:
At one point they experimented with a roadster pickup cab as well (but still the same running chassis, trunk, rear fenders, etc) and a lower hood, etc:
