The best gallery for ID of Spitfire hardtops is on the French "Amicale Spitfire" site: http://www.amicalespitfire.org/hardtop1.php
But I don't think it is a 'Bermuda'. Those have two fixed windows in the roof - this one appears to be open above the occupants, with a T-strut to the windscreen surround. It's more like a "Targa" top, a fixed (but removable) rear window and a removeable roof section - but with the T-strut.
Commercial Targas were made for TR6s, a guy on Sideways made one like that for his Spit, but no T-strut: http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.ph...
and the Stag had one with a strut, but I think this is a new one. Well spotted.

...except you don't have anything like as much space between the back of the door and the boot lid - or more critically the fuel filler cap!
Though guessing windows in hard top would be plastic so maybe someone put an awful lot of effort in to makig it fit.
