The component is from a not-unknown automobile. The guy holding the component is hardly obscure, either.

Is it Frank Kurtis himself carrying a 500-KK frame?

Not a 500 KK, but not far from it; not Frank.

It is a Kurtis Indy car chassis. Like Vukovich, the gentleman in the picture used Kurtis-built cars quite successfully

Another point for the Maestro!

In this picture from 1953, Johnny Parsons hold the 115 pound chrome-molly frame of a Kurtis indy car.
