Default Aerobee Sounding Rocket

I have been trying to find drawings or photos of a particular Aerobee
research rocket without success. In Willy Ley's "Rockets, Missiles, and
Space Travel" (1959 edition), on page 285, figure 48, is a line drawing of
an Aerobee having swept-back fins with an overall length of the second stage
given as 226 inches.

Does anyone know if this particular design was ever flown (with these
swept-back fins) and where I might find some photos and/or diagrams?

I'm just starting to get into high-powered rocketry and am considering
building a flyable scale model of this particular design configuration.
