That photo is actually a 330 P2- same body as the 365, slightly smaller engine.
Fun and useless fact- The car that Carrera modeled, NART chassis 0838, actually started off life as a 330 P2 before becoming a 365.
Another useless and interesting fact- Jochen Rindt was contracted to drive at Le Mans by NART in 1965, but was irate that he was given a 250 LM to drive instead of the 365 P2. The 365 developed clutch problems (which happened a lot to cars driven by Pedro Rodriguez) and sat in the pits for an hour while it was attended to. Attrition took its toll on the Fords and factory Ferraris, and the 250 LM driven by Rindt and Masten Gregory somehow wound up winning the race. Slow and steady, as they say...
