I would have allowed (barely) Wagner Krishna , but yes indeed a Varga Kachina, and no nose wheel .
This one at Ray, Michigan is a 2180TG variant.

I had to look those two up.
It was Mandy (Dick Emery)
To drift a little further East of thread:
wasn’t Dick’s brother a licensed helicopter engineer?

Now you are way too Far East
(Although the Thai also used the CT 4)
You have to locate your search pattern between Pakistan and your shatter gun range.

So India or Burma I guess................ my "Janes All the World's Uniforms" show that the Burmese wear flat caps but the IAF do wear berets. - so we're in India I thnk

Hindustan Ardhra perhaps?

Sorry no connection
When I first googled Dick Emery I saw a superficial liking to the Airwolf engineer.
