I wonder, too, looking at what you posted, if the nose cone has changed again.....
On the red/white/blue color scheme.....sometimes the colored fin is shown blue, sometimes red. And of course at some point the markings went from waterslide deals to peel-n-stick. I'm not sure when that happened. One of the many Alpha evolution things I'd like to lay out on a time line in this 50th anniversary year of the Alpha kit.

The facer card does not appear to show the motor tube extending out the aft end of the model.
I don't know if the shape of the Alpha nose cone has changed. The last Alpha I built was in the early 1970s and that model had a balsa nose cone plus I had to cut the fins out of a sheet of balsa.  
I look forward to your postings concerning the 50th anniversary of the Alpha.
