SMC by Fredi Etter of Thalmann Maschinenbau, 1973?

I lock it for gte4289, because SMC is partially correct. Everything else is wrong, but with that SMC thing he found something.

This is one of five 'SMC 2' buggies built in 1976 by Hans-Jörg F. Seifert of Thundorf, Switzerland (supposedly to his own design) and powered by 1.6L Porsche 356 motors. Four of these were registered in Frauenfeld, where Fredi Etter built the nearly identical 'SMC' in 1973.

We have had the SMC before: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2023-56/wendax-4060
I am not convinced that it is a different car, especially because the AR article mentions that four of the five cars went to Frauenfeld where Fredi Etter worked.
