The above image includes "Heavy Date" A2 artwork which can also be seen here - http://www.401bg.org/Gallery/NARA/A2/images/65457.jpg
There are several similar examples in the NARA photos; Take your time looking through them and I am certain you can find more. 65434A is another fine example. Send me an email if you need higher resolution of any of the NARA photos.
Hope this helps!
