I have some belated (and somewhat uninformative) followup...I have seen images of a desk model of this configuration with the title 147SK-2 on the base (which I am not at liberty to repost). (It's possible that the base was swapped at some time in the past with another 147 series model, but I've never seen the "SK-2" used elsewhere, so I discount the possibility.)Attached are two images from a 1971 TRA/RCA brochure for a Multi-Mission RPV Study. Three futuristic designs are illustrated on the cover and with three-views. Note that the paste-up person has inverted the forward view of the Low Altitude Penetrator (which looks like our mystery bird).The Model 262 Manta may have been derived from this design; it certainly followed it by a number of years (late 1970s).
