Painful to see. But perhaps they just removed the clamshells and spared them for reinstallation when filming was done?
For Grand Prix yes but not for Lemans where they did the opposite by cutting off the roof. There are also photos of it with a camera pod on the rear deck probably housing a gyro stabilized camera for better shots.
Any GT40 diecast collector worth his salt will need to add the camera car one.
Solid camera mounting. 'Gyros' were not in use during that era in moviemaking. IF you look close, you can see the Panavision cameras are sitting on a top plate, over the tripod 'head'.
