Default SA-214, the Last Cluster Booster

I've posted a rarely seen photo of the last Saturn IB booster stage,

the SA-214 vehicle, at the following address.

Today, with the agency scrambling to develop a new Saturn IB class
Crew Launch Vehicle, it almost hurts to view this photograph of one of
three powerful booster stages that NASA saw fit, in another time, to
scrap.

I've been doing some additional searching for photos of the
SA-213 booster, or more of the SA-214 booster. Absolutely
nothing has popped up on any of my web searches. They're
*have* to be photos out there somewhere, so I'll keep looking.
But I suspect that any photos that might exist reside in musty
file cabinets somewhere.
