Hi Neil,
I'd say pretty fair chance it is! Nice to see it still around.
Thanks
Steve

Not the same one, if you look at the reflection in the mirror of the back end this one lacks the solid rear hammer form areas of the first picture posted.

there is a chance that the original buck has been restored/repaired. in the original picture you can see the infill between the stations

either way they are both impressive

I'd like to know what the write-up says.

From the Porsche archival photos I see here and have seen elsewhere, there appear to be different bucks for different aspects of the coach work.

For instance, one type of buck for fabrication of the panels and another different one for joining/welding the small panels into large ones. The previous photos seem to show both of these two types.

Wow Kent, I didn't even know there was a difference! Thanks for that, and it makes sense. Great input!
