Skoda or Ggogomobil

No, but this is geographically closer, and it is a small car as you both assumed

In collaboration with FIAT?  Curious about its origins

[wlaidlaw]

When I was 18 years old my dream cars were either an Abarth 595, an Abarth 850TC (Fiat 600 based) or a Steyr-Puch 650SS. Mini Porsches. My wife currently has an Abarth 695, which is good fun to drive even if they did omit to put in any suspension. When you press the sport button it dramatically enhances engine response and increases the power up to the full 160 BHP, it also stiffens the suspension, absolutely the last thing it needs. I think it changes the shock absorbers into shock enhancers.

Yes, licensed by Fiat. From Wikipedia:

In 1954 it was decided at Steyr-Puch to resume car production after the war. Because of the high costs associated with the development of a completely new design, an agreement was made with Fiat to acquire and adapt the body in white of their Nuova 500 (Italian: Cinquecento) model designed by Dante Giacosa. Of the body, only the engine cover and later the roof was produced in-house. Engine, transmission and carriage were all manufactured by Steyr-Puch. The engine was a two-cylinder (16 hp/12 kW) flat engine which proved to be far more smooth-running than the straight-twin engineused by Fiat. It brought good driving behaviour for its time, especially in mountain rides. The Italians too had experimented mounting this engine to their car originally, but it was dropped in favor of the simpler in-line twin.

The first Steyr-Puch 500 Modell Fiat was launched in 1957 and sold well. At first it was offered with a folding roof only, and it was expected to draw in motorcyclists as a buying audience. The Puchwagenor Pucherl, as it was called, was the official car for the Austrian AA-service.

Rear lights threw me…think I’ve only ever seen the “regular” 500 style lights rather than these cowelled versions. Assume there’s a reason for them?

I think that this is a special feature of the „luxury model“ 500 DL, which also was equipped with a stronger engine (20 hp/15 kW). I am no expert for Puch 500, but on pictures the DL other than the standard model has these special rear lights.
