What is the black shadow/item in the rear, looking like collapsed headlining - would that be a tonneau?
The sheet being waved was to enable the art department to "cut out", the image and then past it - in various forms - into adverts, etc. It was common to project the original image onto a very large sheet of photographic paper (often pinned to a wall) print that out and work on it adding highlights and the usual dwarf occupants, etc. That modified large image was then photographed and used as required. It was also possible, to the great confusion of later researchers, to add any minor modifications and updates made in production - all without having to repeat the photographic work. Like this, only better (the artists in the publicity department would spend hours on the job).
