It's now late on Friday, there's nothing on the box so I'm posting some thoughts and pics from fellow UK fan Wotan on the possible origin of the SWORD designs:
' The Prospector is based on a NASA concept and I've also come across other designs from the NASA stable such as the Grumman Molab, which is clearly the ANT from the Project Sword Annual - this now resides in the Smithsonian. The Booster Rocket crops up as an early nuclear Mars vehicle, but info is thin on the ground now as these designs come from pre-1969 and sometimes much earlier'.
