    Damn, that's close, but I don't think that's quite it. You and I must think alike. It looks French or Italian to me. Maybe even Swedish?

    Yeah the rear lights and rear boot lid (engine cover?) look different. Didn't see a DB that looked like that.

    Rear lights are off the shelf parts for the tiny marques. They can change repeatedly in a model run.
    If not DB the scoops look Abarth like. But he did variants of a number of makes.

    the record monza is a strange one...the inboard tail lights seem unique as all the cars i've seen [and owned] have the fender mounted units..also the rm came in many guises..750 pushrod, 850 pushrod ,750 twincam and a few 1 liter bialberos..[plex windows,slotted steel wheels, campy mags, covered/open headlights..etc.....the script on the b&w photo says more than just 750..it might be derivisione, bialbero,or possibly a sestriere blend...possibly an early prototype or a non-zagato knockoff..tho unlikely....very interesting and certainly very much in the abarth-fiat tradition of no two cars were the same.....:)
