Update 1/17/09: Chicago Museum Kit?

In my latest search for U-505 reference pics, I ran across this image: It was described as promo art for the Chicago Museum exhibit - and note it is a (black) framed piece of flatwork - however its proportions would be ideal for a model box art. Does anyone recognize this - has it been used for any (re)boxing of any model kits? It seems clear the Aurora kit was modeled heavily on the U-505, as on display in Chicago - and of course museum ships all carry models of t heir vessel (or as close as is available), in their gift shops - plus the Aurora company was itself located nearby, in Skokie Illinois (IIRC). So, it would not at all surprise me to learn the above art was used at (least) one time for a special (re)boxing of the Aurora "WolfPack U-boat" mold. Again, any insight(s) greatly appreciated! Cheers, -Matty
