I think that the Type 57 with plate 675 BN2 is not 57210 but 57149.

57149 was made by Gangloff with a coachwork sketched by Dr Mauguiere. I can't imagine that a little time later someone else goes Gangloff with a bare chassis and says built me the same car as 57149

According to the BOC 675 BN2 is chassisno. 57210 and ref. the Conway/Magnum book the car was still excisting in Danemark.
Has someone actually seen this car recently and can proof that it is indeed 57210 and not 57149.
It is strange that there is only one picture of this car.

Therefore I believe that 675 BN2 and SPK 70 is the same car.

Haje could be correct, Pierre-Yves Laugier certainly believes this car to be 57149/engine 55, first(?) registration : 675-BN 2.

Bugatti 57 Sport by Pierre-Yves Laugier ; Tome I ; pagination 24-29.
