A Dutch one-off, may be Porsche-based ?

I've found the car, thanks to Georgano and his large book of motor racing. I thought it might be one of the Spiess cars , but it's an NSU-Gepard being driven by H.P.Richrath on the Course de Cote de Dudelange in Luxembourg. The caption believes it is 1968 or 1969, although I would have said a few years earlier by the style of the helmet and overalls.

(Georgano names these 2 makers of racing NSUs and a quick Google Image search comes up with this one photo.)
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

...but this is one of Helmut Kretzschmann's Gepard, right?
Herbert Fellhauer was not the builder if I am correct.
