Default Period photos of Chev shift

Found in Blueprint For Victory (pages 138-139) photos of Cab 11 Chevs being assembled. The shift lever leans forward, has the reverse lockout catch lever on the right and appears to have the proportions of the long rather than short lever style. Does anyone else have period photos to refer to (before the postwar bodgers got to work confusing us)? I should have thought to look earlier, but....
The only photo found of a Chev cab 13 also has the lever bent forward, catch pointing right.
Not really relevant to this thread about Chevs, but the Ford prototypes shown have the reverse catch lever pointing left.
