It looks very similar, but it is not a US car.
Have a closer look at the driver and you may be able to choose the right continent.

I had it named as "Nissan R.81, 1968", so I did not find it via its number designation...

One point for Shamrock in any case.

Original puzzle pic not visible. I haven't found the one at the Nissan museum, but in this one taken in front of the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse there is also an R380 beside it

Built for the 1968 Japanese Grand Prix at the Fuji International Raceway on the 3rd of May. A R381 driven by Moto Kitano finished 1st, Yoshikazu Sunako finished 6th and Kunimitsu Takahashi retired after 31 laps due to a broken wheel hub. That was the R381's only race, it was replaced by the R382 for the 1969 Japanese Grand Prix.
