Want to meet up?

As I study the four “J” cars that raced at Le Mans in 1967 I feel like I’m playing a game of find Waldo. Each car is different which only means different people assembled the car and there are two different teams preparing the cars. The two Shelby cars, J5 and J6 had oil tanks with a clear oil level window while the HM cars oil tank did not. The Shelby cars had a hole through the body for viewing the oil level. The oil tank fill cap was below an access door top right rear finder while the HM cars J7 and J8 had a hole through the body for the fill cap. By the way the fill caps J7 and J8 had during the race are no longer the same. Of all four cars the rear spoiler on J7 was different; I’ll let you find it from the old pictures.
Sorry guys I just find this interesting.
The old photos of the 1967 Le Mans I have seen show the front air openings closed also on the HM cars. I assume the brake cooling was also from the radiator plenum. I think I read somewhere that the drivers found the lift was higher with the openings open.
