Time for a BIG clue, but otherwise this may be too hard:
We already had a car built by a man with the same last name, same country, same donor (bigger model, same brand).

This car was built by Xxxxx Schneider, not Karl, from a Topolino in 1954.

I don't have paid access so it is hard for me to read it, but it is something like Eigenbau Ernst Schneider
