I think you're right. (even if I can't see any cockpit)

There might be a covering over the cockpit.

It's a DH-100 Mistral (a french-made version from the Vampire :o)

I thought about Mistral at first but the horizontal tailplane is of a type used only on two-seaters and the French did not built two-seaters.
