You can race with it??
For one point: Which company made this attempt? When was that? What was the name of the test subject? Was the attempt successful?

I have found this same photo (not by using "Image Search") captioned as 1950 Lambretta Factory Racing Scooter".  Is that the answer you want?

Sorry, but this source has false informations. This bike is based on a factory racer, but no longer by Innocenti. The photo is younger than 1950, the racer had another name and was established by another company.

A "modern" replica of a 1950 Lambretta Type A or Type B racing scooter ?

No. Neither "modern" nor "replica".

If it's not a genuine Lambretta, not a replica and has no Australian connection, I give up.

You may call it a "Innocenti-lincence" racer.

The racing NSU-Fox was not ready in time, so the NSU-factory drivers around Otto Daiker were put on the Italian 12-inch racing Lambretta in order to at least do some promotion. Daiker was even able to win the Drieburg triangle race. Innocenti's world record driver Romolo Ferri took part in the Donauring race in Ingolstadt. But he dropped out in the 23rd lap. His participation can probably be explained by the fact that NSU had set motorcycle record attempts on the Munich-Ingolstadt autobahn, to which its partner Innocenti had been invited.

Thanks for this complete report. What did NSU call this little racer?

How reliable is this source? This could be the original Italian name. German sources cite another designation, that sounds a bit like a nickname.

About reliability of the source: Here within I offer you three more sources!
The last tells you the official designation, and why it had been chosen...

If you are searching for a humouristic pub-table-name like "Lammy" or such else, I won't be willing and able to find it.
