Lateef ◊ 2022-02-23 22:42	I could be wrong, but I think the script seen in the 8th thumb is that of the St Trop.

I guess It's also more likely to be badged as Neckar in Japan (and overseas), as some examples did find their way over there : https://blog.goo.ne.jp/koyapop/e/2c61cdd87c408c38b4c691be90640593 https://gazoo.com/catalog/maker/NSUFIAT/NEKKA1200SUPAIDA/ /vehicle_1348617-Neckar-Mistral-115-1963.html

Theese reflectors were only mounted on the St Trop models. The Neckar badge on the grille is very easy to replace by a Fiat badge.
