Note how the pylon behind the gun is in different positions in each photo

You really should check the facts before making a fool of yourself. Not content with making a complete ar*e of yourself by mixing up the B/W pic with the colour pic you continue digging.
The photo is not mine.
I do not own it.
I had to agree not to share it before I was given a copy.
I accepted the conditions.
I am not the only one with a copy and it is widely available among those who work in this area.
To help people out I gave a low res B/W version for comparison purposes.
Until such time as the owner decides what to do with it then you will just have to lump it.
Cautionary tale:
A few years back I was sent a manuscript of a book in preparation. A contact found out and asked if he could 'have a look' and he would not share it.
This 'contact' then made several copies and passed them around to make himself look important. All he did was prevent me from getting any more info from that author.
I will not be caught out again.

Like I said, whomever supposedly has this picture can keep it. Don't throw bones out to people who actually give a rat's patootie about its alleged existence.

And Spitfire, you seem to be playing the "I'll let you see a little bit because I'm that kind of guy" game, too. That's nice you seem to have a copy of this color photo. Keep it to yourself unless you're prepared to post a complete view. Otherwise, you are engaging in a bit of childish behavior in the identical manner that the owner of the aforementioned photo is by refusing to allow publication or availability on the internet. This isn't the schematics for a W-88 nuclear warhead.

there is no authentic, genuine and actual color photo of this particular subject

Yes it is obvious you are not interested in it!

Don't misconstrue my arguing about the impossibility of guesstimating colors from a B&W photo as having interest in a color version of the pic which you posted. The existence, or not, doesn't register on my list of priorities.

Thanks; but, I didn't need your help. You're stating the obvious; since, Google took care of that before you thought of doing so.

Well, until actual proof is provided, ie via publishing in a forthcoming book or by other means, its existence is nothing more than a red herring, an urban myth if you will, floating around in our little dysfunctional community. A snippet of an image purportedly from this color photo doesn't validate claims of authenticity. Some folks are more adept at photo manipulation than others.

Well, in the interest of those who would like to see it, put up or shut up, as the saying goes. Don't you just love colloquialisms? BTW, don't get your boxer shorts bunched up; that is directed at the owner of this color shot. You can't, as a matter of principle. That's understandable. A deal's a deal.

It is as real as your anger.
