As I've gotten permission to share the diagram, and I happen to have a way to do so broadly:

As I indicated to Rick in email, that diagram is a standard Navy one.
The Navy, at least back then, tended to have one diagram for one
concept ('Polaris first stage motor' in this instance) and then reused
it widely. The style is unmistakable once you've seen, as I have,
enough of them.

I probably even have that very diagram somewhere in my collection.

The drawing doesn't show any details of the fluid injection system of
the nozzles though, nor where the freon for it is stored.

The diagram shows the first stage, which used jetavators or rotating
nozzles. Fluid injection was used on the second stage.
