Miles,
I have asked the seller that very question. It's not a Merlin.
His reply should shortly be posted on ebay.

This is surely the only only remaining 'Smokers Dereliction' four and a half planker designed by two short planker Bob Lobby in the late seventies. Designed to carry weight and fish.

It's an ill conveived Merlin illegitimi.  Apparently it was the result of a clandestine liaison between a National 12 and a GP 14 and was considered a bastard to sail.
