Ok, this throws an interesting spice into the pot:
I just received a p.m. from Vettestr with a link to this pic in his gallery:
of CSX 2169 wearing a Le Mans hardtop. Is it possible this is the top from CSX2138, that is now on Ernie Nagamatsu`s Cobra?

vettestr:...This is either a photo of one of the 3 known or an extra to the count...This was the first top made to get C.S. approval and also the top that was used to make the mold for the fiberglass mold.
The story as told to me by Fred Johnson
[then owner] who worked for Shelby during the years we are talking about....
Cal Metal, any chance you could edit your original post so the photo shows up by replacing the image text with this:
