Bennie - the closest looking gyro I can think of is the Mongomerie Merlin - see the side by side 2-seater in the left of the pic below.
Your best bet is to try posting on the Rotory Wing Forum
http://www.rotaryforum.com/forum/index.php - I'm sure someone there will recognise it if it's was available as a kit once upon a time and not a home design once-off.

Hi Bennie
It is called a leopard. It was a South African design gyro.
