That last bit isn't correct wb, I had a HX 4 speed without console mounts.

To me, it looks very likely, the problem you have is, if you spend a bunch of coin into the restoration when time comes to sell you'll always have buyers doubting the authenticity just as WB and Innuendo are doing above.

Totally agree with contacting historical services, it's a shame HK isn't here anymore to clear things up.
