Note some of the old shots have '70 hideaways and some the '69 nose..
Dick probably dumped the heavy '70 nose and ran the '69 parts for lighter weight but are the '70 hideaway shots later?.

Those photo's were taken sometime after Landy owned the car, but before Willy T., the previous owner, had purchased it. It doesn't say anything about the different front end treatment.

He did explain how the current front was damaged -
A friend towed the car for me many years ago. He clamped a tow bar onto the bumper, which we didn't realize at the time, was acid-dipped. He didn't use safety chains. When he pulled out into traffic a little too hard, the bumper ripped and the tow bar came off. The car rolled down a slight hill and hit a small tree. There's about a 3 inch impression in the bumper and the bracket behind the bumper is bent. The hood was also damaged, but I wasn't too concerned about that because the previous owner had already cracked the hood back by one of the hinges. I have a new bumper and brackets but they'll need to be acid-dipped. The grille and headlight door assembly had been removed so it wasn't damaged.
