Alan Mann used a series of chassis numbers that were somewhat different from the original numbering system used by FAV for the 5 chassis he purchased directly from Abbey Panels. That said, this could be a clever ruse in an attempt to explain a non-standard chassis number. To my knowledge there were AMGT-1, AMGT-2, XGT-1 and XGT-2. AMGT-1 is owned by a man in Ohio who still hopes to rebuild it from a wreck it suffered under different ownership many years ago. AMGT-2 is owned by a man in Pennsylvania. XGT-1 is owned by a man in Texas. XGT-2 was owned for years by Holman-Moody, but is now believed to be owned by a man in Iowa. AMGT-1 & 2 were lightweight Aluminum bodied cars and the, as yet, unmentionded 5th tub, also with an aluminum body, was recently discovered, about to be put into a dumpster in England and is presently being restored by Chris Melia.
That accounts for the the 5 Alan Mann cars, so I doubt seriously if this car is one.
