That was quick! Yes, it's the "hack" used by DAF to test the suitability of their CVT unit in competition. They bought this Alexis (not really a very competitive car) and adapted the "variomatic" CVT belt to the Cosworth engine - driver Rob Slotemaker finished 7th in the Monaco F3 support race. The next year they raced pretty well with more up-to-date Brabham chassis.

This photo clearly shows the DAF CVT unit as installed in place of the usual Hewland gearbox.
