That's it, yes.
I've posted a very similar one before, which might at first glance look to be the same car but on closer inspection reveals many detail differences.
Well done!

Just before you posted the puzzle, I found a web page detailing several 50's/60's Mercedes prototypes, including this one.  I did get a laugh out of the initial guesses.

The picture was taken in June 1956. I think you can clarify the heading regarding this aspect.

Wingroad, google for "w122 prototype".  You should find the page that way.  Not the first result.
