Yes, from the information that I gathered online, the grey border with the Weaver gallery name (no Maxell ad info) is a gallery litho.
Dave you are a research and documentation guy. It seems to me that the lack of information regarding the "Blown Away Targa" image indicates that something was up with the image and copies. Law suit, Rights to image???
It doesn't seem a big jump to imagine that Steigman originated the photo in the style of the his original Maxell "Blown Away" and sold it's use to Maxell. As we know, Porsche controls "The" image and they came after everyone who had a piece of the Targa image. Things were different in 1985 when pressure was applied and it has been crickets ever since.
If you dive down this particular rabbit hole do keep me posted via PM or email with any information you find. Tks.
