Doesn't look like a Gazelle (BB shell), huge chain stay dents, reinforcement plates at "brake" bridge, which is very rare on a Gazelle (not imposible though). Wrap over seat stays are a bit different too.
As the seller says, I may be a RECO / Regter.
The name Jeannette on the top tube may confirm that, since the daughter of frame builder Regter is called Jeannette and used to be a ( track) racer.
I know here and the father (frame builder), so I can check.
As a matter of fact, he built just a few frames, so, for sure, they will both know this frame.
Reco / Regter was based very closely to Gazelle (Dieren) and Regter was a welder, not a real frame builder. So, I can imagine that he stole some design details from Gazelle.
I also own a Reco track frame (powder coated over a year ago). You can find some details about it and the "brand" here (and some other blogs there):
