acorn atom and acorn system series • Blue Box Owners here?

The Atom that I recently claimed through eBay includes the mailer box and polies - which is great.
Yet that Blue Box is the one to have in my opinion. Seeing that those are rare as hen's teeth, instead I'd like to replicate the Blue Box, but I am unsure about the contents on all sides of the original box.

I found an interesting Atom box project on Github here:

But of course that design is based off the original advert, and while it's a fun 'what-if' retro design, it doesn't come close to the quality of the Blue Box design. That said, I can easily replace that existing art with the original design. And I do like the extra space that can hold additional accessories.

I've checked online for a few hours now, but aside from low resolution and fuzzy images found in the odd (sold) eBay Atom listing and Atom related sites, it is proving unexpectedly difficult to find quality references that show off the Blue Box from all its lovely sides :wink:
Usually only the top and one of the sides is pictured, and then more often than not in a paltry low resolution and/or poorly photographed. I have no clue what's printed on the back/bottom of the box, for example.

For example:

Is anyone here an owner of one of these elusive Blue Boxes? And if so, would you be willing to share high resolution scans or photos taken from all sides of your box? I would share the final result of the redesigned box here in this forum, and anyone without a proper box to put your Atom in can then have it printed for their own use. 8)

Thanks in advance :D
