Being pedantic, it's the F.8.L but I think fernytickles gets the credit.

Canopy Gull wing doors similar to the Czech Aircraft Works Mermaid. But instrument panel different also nose structure too short. Can we take it that this a similar aircraft with the engine behind the cockpit?

It is not a Mermaid and there's not a huge amount of similarity... but yes, the engine is aft of the cockpit.

It looks a bit like a Bede..

(but I`ve never come close to guessing the cockpit and I`m not holding my breath this time either.)

I'm tempted to suggest Bristol Bombay - possibly a prototype, but I'm struggling with dead and dying hard drives at the mo' so cannot devote too much time to the quiz!

If I'm right, someone else have a go...

It looks like the co-pilot would need very long arms and legs to fly it from the RHS!

Is it a seaplane of some kind? Seaplane designers do seem to go in for weird layouts!
