ttn_v_bw_o_n (unnumbered, first Titan IIIC?)
Early unidentified (possibly first?) partial Titan IIIC stack, circa 1965, with only the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) in place. More than likely Launch Complex 40, although I haven't ruled out 41.
The complete lack of any designation/emblem/lettering, launch 'tally', etc., on the concrete structure to the right would/might seem to indicate that this is the first 'anything' at this particular launch complex? The pristine appearance of the Umbilical Tower/Mast would support this being this being a first...likely (I think) the first Titan IIIC.
I'm ignorantly guessing this to be the same vehicle, simply based on the external appearance of SRB casings:
