Thanks for posting the article and the Flickr shots. I have one of the 1/12 Trumpete kits and I am currently think of building it as 1015. (Other aftermarket decal options ar #3 and #5.) Fortunately the door bulge is a seperate part and a sheet plastic patch and puddy can make the door correct for 1015.
It was interesting to note in the August 1966 photos, that this H-M car had the raw fibreglass side of the rear bodywork painted gray.
Also, I see in 1966 era photos that these cars had 4 or 6 point belts. Is there better information as to the seat belts system in use in 1966.
It has been mentioned that as a result of working off of the 1047 restoration, there are some MkIIB features in the kit, the roll cage is the one you can't miss and easy to disregard. Other than body work alterations, what were the more subtle differences between a MKII and MKIIB? I would like to correct anything visible to 1966 spec.
