Default Cooment on illustrations in parts (or maintenance) manuals

Be cautious when relying on the illustrations in parts (or maintenance) manuals. I base this on the Chev manuals where I have seen some of the identical illistrations used in manuals published for civilian pattern vehicles before there were any CMPs. In other words, they did an earlier version of copy and paste or diagram recycling. Some are trustworthy, some are questionable and some are outright misleading, at least for Chevs and I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened at Ford given the pressures to get information out quickly, using the least manpower possible.
