Did you take these photos? They look like they were made under hazy
sun, with the sun on the right. I think you said LM-2 is the one in the
Smithsonian. That's near a huge wall of north-facing windows, but I
think the windows would be to the left, and sunlight should never hit
the lander in that location, anyway.

The only time I've seen the Air and Space Museum was in 1985. I did
see many of the same exibit items (not including the LM!) when I was
there in 1967.
