This is from the original 100-Six Service Manual. The angle of the perspex is  forward sloping like the later screens even though this is an early screen. In addition there are screws around the exterior of the frame which is not the case on the 'Longbridge' frames Peter Svilans believes this was a very early variation which went out on the first 50 or so cars. A similar screen can be seen on photos of UOC 741, which was an early press demonstrator before becoming a works Rally car.

This photo shows the star shaped  nuts that secure the front of the sidescreen and the single eared wingnut that attaches the rear bar photo Peter Svilans

Here is another example clearly showing the shape and design of the rear bar Both photos Peter Svilans
