I could not find why and when or if for that matter, 39PH ended up red with a different roadster body.
Thanks Trevor for the info.

The very short story is these are two different chassis. CS2131 (roadster) constructed by AC as their entry for the '63 LeMans. CSX2131 was a 'spare' unmarked chassis produced by AC and sold to Willment, who at the time, also owned the roadster CS2131. CSX2131 was constructed with a coupe body by Willment.

I'll let Trevor or Ned provide, or not, the longer story
