Careful with that nacelle. It shows a "blunt" type seen on Russian Vosisins, 
probably a field modification. It's not at all like the nacelles seen in the 
surviving examples of Le Bourget and Belgium, but spot on with that on 
Monino.

According to Harry Woodman, the Flashback wings had some shape anomalies as 
well.
