Some Nissan/Datsun names changed for different markets. Was this a Japanese-market model designation?

Nope, I'm after the export market name for this car and it is anything but obscure.

Badged a Datsun rather than a Nissan?

From this source, very much so.

Nope.

Rear wheel drive? This feels a bit like the pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey party game  :)

Yes it's RWD. That accurately describes a fair few puzzles on here.  ;D

Haha OK, how's this:

This is a one-fifth scale proposal for a Datsun. This particular model was clearly never chosen, the finished product retains very few - if any - details shown in the model.
The final product reached production, in a big way, and was a popular Datsun. I'm only accepting a single variation of the name, as that's the way it appeared in the source material.

Was the finished product for sale between 1970 and 1975 ?

As in the first page of the thread, the picture quality unfortunately makes it look like a pickup but it's not.

No it was not.
