It sure looks like one, for good reason.
But it's neither of those..

Can this be the only Achimkoy, built in North Korea in the 1970's by Sungri General Auto Works as a prototype?

Indeed it can!  A fine example of North Korea's burgeoning modern motor industry..
Apparently 'Achimkoy' translates as 'Flower of the Morning'.  I wonder why they didn't name it 'Our Dear Leader Kim's Wonderful Achievement in the World of Automobiles'?!
