One interesting thing about this plane that you can see evidence of in the third image of the original posting above. Sunlight shining onto the radio stack. I think it has the skylights, roof glass that the Aerobat used. I haven't asked Fred about that. When I see it I will find out.
I concur, that's exactly what you're seeing. It's very evident just above the carb heat handle.
You can barely see them if you zoom in on

Brian, confirmed!
You have good eyes.

Also, if you look at image 5, you can see what appears to be sunlight shining diagonally through the two skylights, out the pilot side window, and illuminating two patches of ground in the wing shadow.
And in picture 7, in the rear-view mirror above the photographer's shoulder you can see the seat-belt tray above the door is bathed in sunlight.
At least, I can't explain that light pattern without having skylights.
