The scoop being a hand fabbed mock up piece is definitely another possibility, as we know Yenko was known to "mock up" items for photo purposes before.
Warren Dernoshek has commented about at least one instance of Yenko "hanging" a set of Corvette sidepipes on a 67 Yenko Camaro with some mechanic's wire for simple photo purposes, so it's entirely possible the prototype Deuce scoop was constructed with similar intentions.
I'm still betting there's a link to Dixco lurking there somewhere, it just hasn't been uncovered yet. Time will tell...good to see there's more than one of us who cares to have this mystery sorted out.
