I have that Alouette as well like that, but I have my doubts about it. The first time I saw it was in 2002 in Alverca. And even though it was out of service from the KLu in 1996, it is listed in the FAA database as N155RA, deregistered in 2007. So in 2002 it was probably still active in the US.
I think it is an instructional frame only, no relations to a real airframe.
