The ASTP CSM & Docking Module as seen from Soyuz, taken from a frame of 16mm(?) motion picture film. Note what appears to be a mottled slightly darker appearance to the inner half of the SPS engine bell. Appears to be on the opposite side of what's noted here...interesting:

Note also the RCS thruster plume impingement affects on the umbilical fairing. First time I've noticed that they're almost lined up...seems kinda counter-intuitive to me...place the spinal cord of the spacecraft in the path of a blowtorch, but hey, it all worked brilliantly! What the hell do I know.
