I'm none the wiser I'm afraid, Dook, those fins remind me of the AW-52.

Another "sort of reminds me", an early stripped version of the Silvercraft SH.4 - I don't know if the SH.4 was a developed producton version of an early prototype?
Yes: it must be!
The S-4A was assessed by the US Army in 1951 as the YH-24, but failed to be awarded a production contract; not least due to having only a single pilot position which limited its usefulness as a trainer! The S-4B was designed and produced in two months, with side by side seating, as a result of this assessment. The two YH-24s were destroyed by Cessna, who had an involvement in the Siebel concerns.
Over to dook

It the the triple-tailed version of the General Aircraft G.A.L.38 Fleet Shadower. Subsequent modifications incorporated a single-tail, (vertical stabiliser).
