It is a Moretti 750, but I have a different name than "Tour du Monde".
Locked for you.

This is 100% a "Tour du Monde", to be very precise with the 2nd type of graphic (the short-living first one had a different color scheme). But somteimes there is some confusion with the "Superpanoramica" (that actually has a different front grille). Is it the name you are looking for?

Yes, Superpanoramica is what I have it as. I'm pretty sure you know these cars better than I do. 
But the source tells a different story:

Odd car. I looked carefully the photo and my conclusion is that either they "photoshopped" a former Tour du Monde adding the wider rear window (that's indeed a typical feature of the new Superpanoramica) or this is a pre-series car using the new body with wider window and still the old front mask.

Anyway, some confusion is also on that brochure: the title is indeed "Super Panoramica" but the last line says TDM, which means "Tour du Monde".
