Yes, that is the missing bit. This prototype was called BMW/Glas LS 1000. It must have been an earlier prototype that led to the BMW 1000 mentioned by you: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-allemano's-8470-655-1967-bmw-1000-prototype

Thanks. 
That's very interesting.  I note Michelotti's name in one of the drawings.
I had actually found a design by Michelotti which looked remarkably similar but with the front grille in a different position, but I had dismissed it as it was described as a 1961 BMW 1600 prototoype (pictured below).  I note however that is a car which looks very much like it lurking under the picture you used for your puzzle!  I guess he did both.

I think you are right, Carnut. There are a lot of Michelotti cues in the design, think, for instance, of the Triumph Herald rear end and the general lines of the cars. :)
