Hey, got closer to my answer! RGS Story volume IV, pp 86-87... 0252, 0256, and 0260 have their partial window boarding and are behind RGS 41 descending the Ophir Loop on Bridge 46D. 41 is wearing the sunrise herald and still has her twin pumps which places the photo prior to the 41’s 1946 overhaul and repaint. I’m good to proceed as planned!
