Mystery in Queens

Can you help solve a puzzle?

WSH Leonov & Io 118

What is this spaceship?

I'm pretty sure this is the same model, in a different museum, before it settled at AMMI.

You didn't read my theory.

I don't think so. The Leonov had a rotating center section to provide a gravity area.
Here's the Leonov and Discovery.

It's clearly neither of those.

I've been looking at google image search for 30 minutes now and haven't seen it. It actually doesn't look terribly familiar to me.
