I think the MDC car is an attempt to model the Santa Fe 7 panel PrattWhether MDC intended to model ANY protoype is unknown and, based on their track record, improbable. Most likely they were just doing another "interesting" kit using existing resources, perhaps crudely aiming at some prototype photo but possibly with an entirely generic goal. In any case, we can agree the car is a poor model and matches no prototype, nor is it readily kitbashable into anything prototypical. Definitely swap meet material.
