Guess this Classic

Morning, nice Thursday test for you! A friend of mine would like to identify this car for a photo shoot. I thought Aston but the badge looks like an Austin Healey?? This is the only pic we have (very poor) any ideas?

Thanks

1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 owned by Franschoek Motor Museum from what I can work out

Is it the one Touring did? About 5 made?

Is t one of the Aston Bertone specials like the Jet?

Only 2 made but led to Touring being used for the DB4 (hurrah for that)

There was a great article on them in a very early edition of Classic & Sportscar, but haven't spotted many column inches devoted to them since. I thought they were both in the USA so the SA motor museum is a surprise
