This may be another Porterfield of Rick Wood's. The link below didn't work for me, as I don't do Facebook. Hopefully, it will work for you. Otherwise, contact Rick Wood (see the previous, recent Forum post of a Barnstormers ad).

As seen on Facebook, by member Bill Skinner:

For those of you unfamiliar with the Continental A50, the exhaust ports are on the top of the cylinders, as evidenced by the stainless steel exhaust header over the top of the heads.

Those are Bendix "lunchbox" magnetos on the accessory case.

I'm curious why he went to all the trouble to restore her to factory specs, yet substituted white for silver with the paint scheme...

Porterfields had a list of options available  at extra cost. Paint color was one of the options.
