I believe it is an Allied Greenwich, although I see what you mean about the additional/larger portlight. However, here are two clues I'm going by:

1) The V-shape on the front of the cabin-top. You can also see it in your photo and also here on another Allied Greenwich and in a drawing of the boat:

2) The little molded "step" at the aft end of the cockpit where the rudder post emerges and meets the tiller:

My guess on the portlight differences would be that either the ports were replaced or that there was some variation by the builder. In later years, the Greenwich 24 became the Cape Dory 25, and as that boat it had several portlight variations over the years of production (not that that has direct bearing on the Greenwich, but just as an example).
