Hi Mark, A point that springs to mind is that your are replicating the car to the moment in time the photograph was taken, as racing cars evolve with time, dents, scrapes and ongoing modifications in my opinion and in racing anything the driver/ builder is not happy with would be corrected at a latter date when time or finances allow, a dent will be hammered out a rattling panel secured with a couple of extra rivets, so the is a fair bit of freedom to be had without deviating from the spirit of the car. Lets face it if it was on record the day the picture was taken the car had a misfire on No 1 cylinder you are not going to fit a faulty plug just for the sake of authenticity.
