A long shot but struggling to identify the decoration on the rear wing of Gijs Van Lennep's Surtees TS7 at the Dutch GP in 1971. The car features various postage stamps, some of which we've identified and the particular difficulty is the middle one of the three either side of the wing. I've got a couple of photos but they are of unknown origin, so best not post them up here. there is a sporting theme with a Paraguayan football stamp and a Guineean boxer in another but it is the one in the middle that's a mystery. Possible sports include high jump or equestrian. If anyone thinks that they may be able to help I can PM a photobucket link to the shots I have.

thanks,

Mark.

Thanks to those who sent PMs. The mystery is solved. It was actually a Hurdler on a stamp issued in Ecuador in 1968.
