I'd almost say Ocelot SS, but the back isn't right. And Dale, he did check the DBA!

Could be a splash though...

Check Dune Buggy Archives for Bandito:

Pretty sure that is what you have.

I'm no expert but I see no evidence of a front roll bar or the 6v headlight bucket mouldings. And the tail is different as well.

So still a mystery in my opinion.

Bandito not Bandido. Two different manufacturers.

Looks like it was from the same bloodline as a Kellison XP-1

It looks even more similar to Bill Cheesbourg's "Cheezeburger" which was made to fit a Subaru 360 Sambar truck chassis.

Vince is right, the Bandito, the lower front valance definitely confirms it
