The pilot drawing by Ray looks identical to me in both cases, Bob------the seamless composites are worthy of today's photoshop abilities, and I'm not quite sure how this was achieved in the 50s---Ray did sometimes paint/draw flying saucers direct onto photos---maybe he photographed the original concept, then simply made a cut-out composite using the original pilot artwork, or maybe a photograph of the pilot?
