"Launch Configuration."

 

Alrighty then. Talk about cursory & perfunctory.

 

I don't think I've ever seen the first/S-IC stage labeled as just "S I". Hmm...mislabeled, or being early on, the nomenclature not yet formalized?

I don't know enough about the development of the Saturn C-5/V, and really don't feel like searching.

 

It is a neat looking early NASA LEM though. The earliness even evident in the CSM, with recessed SPS nozzle ’well’, smaller nozzle size and size/placement of the RCS quads.
