I think it will be a FIAT 1500. It had a 6 cylinder engine with a 65 mm bore.
Quote:
The engine of the 1500 was a six-cylinder 1493 cm3 OHV who shared its bore x stroke dimensions of 65 x 75 mm with the four-cylinder 508 contemporary and delivered 45 hp transmitted to the rear wheels through a box four reports.

I don't think the Topolino would get anywhere near the 15.7 RAC rated horse power shown in your log book. It also says "6 x 65 mm" because RAC rating only took account of the bore dimension and ignored the stroke.

The 1937 Topolino had a bore of 2.05" and 4 cylinders so 6.7 RAC HP

Peter

RAC HP = 0.4 (D^2) n

D is inches
n is number of cylinders

I agree with Peter: the clues are in the 15.7 horsepower rating and the 6 x65mm figures - definitely not a Topolino, it can only be the 1500-6!
