You are right, it is Harry Merkel's Porsche Spezial, pictured at Baden in 1954:

I think I read somewhere that this car was the roadster conversion of the VLK (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16226).

I think this photo was taken at Sachsenring in 1954.

I had found some more photos and one that comes from wikipedia refers that puzzle car is a Rometch Porsche Spyder modified by Harry Merkel I am not sure about this point.

No, the Rometsch Spyder is a completely different car, that Merkel drove later on: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=10067.msg347625#msg347625
