I want to find a very early D4, likely 1950-1951 with the wrinkle gray base, they seem to have an unusual chimney mount as well? This is the only one I have ever seen, so I am not sure if it is correct. It would have came with the early style burner tray like Jan has.
Very doubtful that one of those will turn up...
I have those pictures on record too, and this is the only one i have seen as well.
I have personally seen quite a few very early wrinkle paint models, and none of them have had that smooth firebox and simple smokestack support.
I can only assume that this D4 is a prototype, or a part of a very small first batch, from just before the bricked coppersheets was introduced.
