a_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1966/67 NAA news photo, no. P-24, poss. M63-476 eq, poss. 66-H-1463 eq, 116-KSC-66C-1811 eq)
Artist's rendering of the Lunar Module's descent and landing, possibly published January 18, 1967.
As was often the case during LEM development, this is a latter version of an earlier (1963) concept artwork, updated/modified to reflect the latest external design changes.
Per the above dated issuance:
"Apollo Moon Mission Sequence 5 -- With one
astronaut remaining in the CSM in orbit around the moon, the other two crewmen descend to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module."
Finally, the verso bears the same numbering format, “P-XX”, of the illustrations in this latter North American Rockwell news/press publication, with a near equivalent of this image labeled as P-27:

The parent site to the above is also most impressive:

As an aside, I do believe Mr. Scott used this photo (specifically, the far left panel) of mine in his splash page:
