OK I'm confused. I've been looking at a LOT of Defender cabinets lately and see many with side artwork showing the man with his back to the rear of the machine, on both sides. However some cabinets have the man with his back to the front of the machine, sometimes it is like this on just one side and other times both sides. What gives? Did Williams paint some of them like that or are some original and some re-stenciled?
 
There are no less than 6 versions of defender that are all genuine williams. The reversed space man is just one of them
 
Is this documented somewhere? Sounds like good reading.

Never really felt a need to spend any time to document it, but I do have scans of at least 4 of them and have noticed a couple more different ones at auctions over the years.
