Lancia Aprilia Bertone Mystery, or scrap mock-up? (UPDATE II: Older photos!)

Jiri Langer sends these photos of a recent remarkable find: said to be a 1939 Lancia Aprilia Coupe by Bertone. So far he has not been able to find other photos or material about this specific car. The closest so far, is a black & white photo showing a cabriolet Bertone from presumably the same series. Can you help?

Update II: H. Clostermeyer from Vienna sends us these pictures of the Lancia taken twenty 20 years ago. They are photos from the rear, the side and the front. We have asked for the opinion of Lancia expert Christoph Grohe, who reacts: "As far as I can see my first opinion would be rear is original and nose was modified more or less where the side grills of the bonnet starts. But the question who is the coachbuilder is another one, there were so many in those days especially working on Aprilia platforms."

Thanks to Mr. Clostermeyer for the pictures which confirm my acceptance which Lancia has gone up to 1979 in Czechoslovakia. The rebuildings also come from Czechoslovakia in front and various changes behind (bumper, exhaust screen, back lights and garnish molding in front are from Skoda 440-Spartak).

Jiri has in fact written on the Lancia site.
There is a lot of information there already.

1939 Lancia Aprilia Coupe (Bertone prototype)

This site suggests this might be a one off prototype by Bertone.
Quote :
“The salesclerk writes: Lancia prototype 1x in the world, with papers, year 6/1939,”
On the nose (drivers side) there appears to be a rectangular Bertone badge.
Certainly looks like a nose by De Soto and a (waterfall) grille by Buick
