Hi Gene, I am sure it is Dubro.

The Lotus 30 I have been looking for is the Shark version of this body. Seen here on the magazine cover.

The subtle difference is where the hood line comes closer to the front of the windshield and the lips around the wheel arches. It must be super rare,as I not seen one ever.

 

My collection of Lotus 30's with paper work. Dubro on the left.
