Just watched a short film on Charles and Ray Eames' Venice design studio, and noticed some great type specimens. Anyone have any idea what this one is?

(x) "901" giant address number of Eames Office - hand drawn {Stephen}
I think this might be Helvetica Compressed/Inserat.
The geometrically strict lines on the '901' make me feel it was done by hand specifically for that size. It was their giant address number, after all.
