“APOLLO 11 LM ON MOON -- A Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation artist’s [Craig Kavafes] concept depicting mankind’s first walk on another celestial body. Here, Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, is making his first step onto the surface of the moon. Armstrong has just egressed Lunar Module 5. Still inside the LM is Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remains with the Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit. In the background is the Earth, some 240,000 miles away.”
Note that the RCS plume deflectors are included in this beautiful depiction. However, an RCS Quad 3 nozzle (specifically, A3R), seems to be missing. I probably should overlook it, seeing how it otherwise is fantastic, as was the norm for Mr. Kavafes!
As a child, this is the only thing I knew this image from:

I still have my album. If my contemporary, do you?
In addition to the LP, countless mass media/press publications, and who knows what else, it was also used in an Apollo 11 30th anniversary commemorative coin presentation:
