It just seemed logical to me that it would be. As you say, Lee is a meticulous guy and it strikes me as odd that he'd have been making these for six years without a drawing. So with that in mind, why do the drawing in 1968? It seemed to me the only reason to re-do would be a revision of some kind.

That said, there's nothing on the drawing that we can see in the screen shot that says "revision". That not knowing was the reason I posted the question.

Of course he could have just been using some sort of master pattern as the definition (such a practice is not unprecedented) and perhaps it got so worn that it was time to draw things up and drive future production from there.

As you say, the best way to answer this burning question ( ) is to ask Lee and hope he remembers (which, based on the few conversations I've had with him, he likely will).
