Funny the Mustang owners manual is for an A code Mustang not a K code Shelby...I guess whoever is trying to sell this junk didn't even bother to do any reasearch at all..

The manual does show hole punch negative, so it is not the first printing, but possibly a second.  The absent hole punch negative in the Ten Spoke is a version I don't recall seeing.  I can't say original.  Looks too nice and the other pieces do not support the claim.  See images with notations.

I also have one of these particular manuals and found at least one other interesting tidbit.  The font size on the front cover printing (4 lines) is different.  The 1st picture is the cover of an original 2nd printing while the other picture comes from a manual like the one being discussed above.  The difference in letter size can be seen when looking at the two pictures.  Also, the 4th line ends in a different spot and with a period (unlike the original) in the 2nd photo.  I'm sure there are other differences as well.
