So where are parts I-III of V2? What's in V1?

On a side note; The Apollo guidance computer has been described as
being based on the Polaris guidance system (which is also a product of
Dr Draper and his merry band). Examination of these documents shows
that to be, as far as I can tell, largely true. While the computer is
wildly different, the IMU is recognizably a sibling of the (A3) MK2
GA. (Though some features more resemble the (C3) MK 3 GA.
