Interestingly, Greg's "Monza '96" photo ID'd by DocGTR appears to have the same writing as Le Man's picture, but still wears the original road car tail lamps.

Yes, that latest addition is from 1996 Jarama race as 06R had that type of rear wing and the smaller and edgier mirrors. Also it has already the '96 type of rear lamps which were not on it in Monza. Thanks Erik for pointing that out. Still I had guessed this would be from Jarama as the track surface color matched better to Jarama than Monza.

During the 1995 season the text was written in capitals (PER TE AYRTON) in Arial type of font and then in 1996 in Times New Roman kind of font (Per te Ayrton). In 1996 it also appeared on the front in some races, e.g. Le Mans.
