Posted in honor of Don Cole, former "NASA Spacecraft Photographer", in conjunction with the below linked photographs.
Per Mr. Cole's caption of the photograph, from his blog "DonColeCartoons":
"NASA Spacecraft Photographers at work. Donald Cole, on the left; Ken Lee, on the right. Cape Canaveral, Florida, 1960’s."

The outward appearance of the M-11 Command/Service Module (CSM) combination in this photograph and that of the below linked stacking photograph leads to my associating it with the SA-500F Facilities Verification Vehicle.
However, if so though, where's the circumferential black aft portion of the Service Module? Painted on later? Or is there something else going on here?
