“Overall view of light. LCC and 39A.”
I don’t know where/how “they” came up with “LCC”.
Based on the date, the Saturn V on the pad is the SA-500F Facilities Verification Vehicle.
Note the rust, the fuzzy thing stuck to the tire on the left & plenty of other visual clues…this wonderful relic was a World War II era searchlight, likely pulled out of storage. I love it.
Note also the embossed General Electric logo at the center of the light’s housing. I don’t know my searchlights; however, based on the following:

It also looks to be a GE ‘Model 1942-A’.
Finally, note also the flame deflector in the background to its right – along with its size – damn! That’s a full size crane next to/in front of it!
The gorgeous, magnificent & glorious Saturn V…she rules to this day.
