Could it be a glider prototype of the Northrop XP-79 mentioned in the write up below?

Edit, looks like it is the MX-324.

It is either the MX-324, or more likely the MX-334.

It was the proof of concept creature that lead up to Northrop's disaterous XP-79:

Last I looked this one was $213.... Made me wish I was older and had a camera then. It wasn't even a decent photo....
