I found these two pictures in the Russian Novosti Kosmonavtiki forum. They were taken in the aeronautics museum of Speyer, in Germany. The poster wonders what it is.
my opinion is that it could be a model of the (West) German-US Advanced Cooperation Project Jupiter probe of the 60s. By about 1968 it was deemed beyond German technology of the time and was scaled down to the Helios solar probes.
Any idea anyone?

I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.

correct Paolo, that's the bus of the 750 kg US-German probe, which was designed by Bölkow.
