It seems that each new answer raises a new question Allen.
As far as I know, Love had two big crashes with his Surtees : the first in the summer of 1971, the second and final one at the end of the 1972 SA GP.
If the 003 tub had been replaced after the first crash by 004, then there were two 004 tubs at the start of the 1972 SA GP, for 004 is officialy reported to have been in De Adamich's hands there.
Isn't it more realistic to imagine that 003 was only repaired, and not replaced, during the 1971/1972 winter, and that Blignault bought both original (and wrecked) 003 from Team Gunston and 004 from Ceramica Pagnossin, then rebuilding the two cars into one ? Photographs of the Blignaut and/or Domingo's car would be of real interest.
