John I haven't seen that issue of Motorman, but as you say, a late season colour change. Dawson purchased the Monza off Canadian racer Maurice 'Mo' Carter, who always raced red cars with white details, and when the Monza arrived in New Zealand, it only required Marlboro decals and a switch to Dawson's #35, and it was good to go. Everything else about the colour scheme was as raced by Carter.

This late season change was then changed again for the 1976/77 season, by which time it appears Marlboro were no longer supporting Dawson.
