a16_v_c_o_AKP (LM documentation photo, no. 1122005042271200)
Grumman technicians are seen working on the front (+Z) landing gear of Apollo 16 Lunar Module "Orion"/LM-11, April 1971, on possibly one of the downlock deployment mechanisms. Note the absence of the lunar plaque...being only 1971, the attachment of it on the +Z primary landing strut will come much later, after delivery to KSC...
Above corrected, per the below.
