You've clearly found the right car, based on an Almquist Speedster.
But what does its builder actually call it?  An Almquist ........ what?

Are these all the same car?  The headlamp positions are totally different on the red car.

No, they're not.
The Sportster used the Speedster body much modified.
The other pictures show the production body of the Speedster.
