Might be one of the various frames that Tange manufactured for people. Can't recall if the Tange Mamba or Kuwie ET has the box section behind the BB though

A real bugger to try and get decals for, if you look up an old diamondback advert you'll find one. As I think they were marketed together

Bob acid had one as a kid so he knows a bit about them

same kinda look as a goose with the rear box section .
