Hehe short little arm. Looks like a later OV-25 (early 70s) due to the pushed back PC. The 60s ones had the PC right behind the refractor and the flatbottom and trasition OV-25 had the PC right in front of the streetside of the refractor as we all know. I personally like the transition OV-25 with the single door and forward PC the best.
You can also look at the front rim of the door where refractor holds...if you see 2 notches from the outside (which holds the refractors), its a 70s era, but if there are no notches, it's the 60s version. The 60s versions uses separate metal tabs screwed on inside to hold the refractor. The same goes for the OV-15. I have a 1968 OV-15 and it has no cast mold notches.
Yeah my OV-25 remote ballast is like that too, with four tabs. One of the tab's holes is stripped in the front and the two in the back are seized in place. i noticed that the OV-25 remote ballast and the flatbottom Westie have a different latch than the later single door westies.
