I had this unique 8x10 photograph in my files for quite some time, and after taking a closer look at it, I did notice that not all of the 12 Apollo/Saturn V liftoff photos were correct in their photo descriptions. Otherwise, one or more of the moon rocket depictions are not correctly identified with their Saturn V vehicle designations.

Can any Saturn V rocket photo-buffs tell which ones they are of those in error?

The photo itself may be an Air Force issue and not NASA. Of the two same-type composite photos that I have of this issue, both of them came from space collections that I had acquired from a military and contractor worker at CCAFS/Patrick AFB.

On the first quick look Apollo 14 can be in my opinion actually Apollo 12 launched through the rain and thunderstorm — but I am definitely no expert so I may be wrong of course.

The Apollo 6 launch image looks to be correct, but reversed.
