I can't figure out which varient but it's a bomber version of the mossie. the glass nose was used for the bombardier. could also be the N.F.II varient, which had a searchlight mounted in the nose.

I'm thinking a mossie B.35? can't see the wingtips in the picture so I can't tell if it has 3 antenae on them, which were part of its "Gee-H" navigation system. I can see one what appears to be antenae so I'll assume there are 3.

Seems like I remember seeing a photo like this and it's a South American country produced, postwar example based on the Mosquito but with more available engines etc.

Can't for the life of me remember which country though.
