Had one of those in chrome back in the day.  Never knew what it was, i'm sure it was advertised in the mags as an unbranded frame/frameset and the old man got me one to replace the cracked burner I had at the time. I loved it at the time but it got skipped in the early 90's with the top tubes/headtube junction cracked.

I thought it was, because I've had one. Got it nos off Johan, the belgian bloke who has the hutch info site, but on a second look, the dropout is wrong. Don't know whether it's just something that varied on them, but it shouldn't be straight along the bottom edge for a foxbat. I think it's something else.

the bottom edge of the rear drop out is angled out slightly :daumenhoch:

you can see a slight shadow on the bottom drop tube - this means it has a slight bend out and it's just the angle it's taken at - have a look in my pic again guys  ;)

Like I said, mine had three and different shaped dropouts, like the one on the advert, yours doesn't. Sure I've seen one of them like the one you have before, Asco, akisu etc. I remember not.  :-\
