This is the only one I know of, but there may easily be more. According to Badman's caption,
"The new line-up poses for a Fender Guitars promo shot at the studio in Baambrugge,
Holland, with drummer Ricky Fataar switching convincingly to pedal steel guitar."

While that's the Holland console, the footage was actually shot by Billy Hinsche at Brother in Santa Monica

It also explains Carl playing that Dan Armstrongish thing.

Hmm.  Not sure if it is a Starcaster, as those weren't made until 1976.  It could be a prototype, I guess, or a Coronado-Starcaster hybrid of some sort.

How about this?

"This is Blondie Chaplin playing a wild "in-the-middle" Coro/Starcaster prototype...a Coro with Starcaster ideas on it."

Elsewhere it's described as "a Staronado mash-up":
