-506 Ferrari 275 GTB (1966-71)

Johnnyangel posted this peculiar piece in "New arrivals" but there is an other one for the # 131 E type Jaguar (sold by Vectis). These two documents have probably been made for export models as evidenced by "lift up engine hood" text but where they made by or for Meccano Ltd. or are they simply fakes ? Clues to say that this is a fake is that the Ferrari 275 GTB was not fited with folding seats and why would this model have been sold with a French reference number ?

  

What would have been the use of the large flap, it does not fit into a cristal box. If it was folded upwards it would be upside down, it could not be folded downward.

Can one explain this mystery ?
