Matchbox 58 Girder Truck with GREEN GRILLE

You know that I like the box art matching models very much!
I have just added this beauty - MB58 Girder Truck pre-pro with GREEN GRILLE that matches the E-Box artwork.
It came without a box and with the pre-pro YELLOW girders. I will now buy another mint and boxed girder truck in an E-Box. Once it arrives I will swap the yellow girders with the red ones and park this one in its box art-matching box!
This is the first one I've seen, and I had never heard of this variation before.
I have also added a picture of an E-Box in this post.
Does anyone have another one, or have seen another one with green grille?
Cheers
Antoine

I've seen yellow girders, but neither a green grille nor clear windows before.
Very nice find.

That's a fabulous find and definitely one I'd like to have! It must have the first base that Bert showed here, without support for the windows. Brilliant!
