The agency docs are a guideline. If followed, any cars restored using them would be considered correct.

There's absolutely no way, barring in-service photos of any given car someone is attempting to restore, to do so with the level of "correctness" you are attempting to impose. I''ll argue that even an in-service photo of a particular car isn't the standard, either, as they sometimes changed during their service lives and any given photo is just a snap-shot of the car at that particular point in time.

Many of these cars were crashed in-service, repaired, and put back into service. Variations exist.

BTW...these docs don't really exist anywhere else. Please utilize them as they were intended and appreciate them for what they are. My .02c.
