Don't get yer panties in a tangle, its not an ST spoiler; they are a complete bootlid and the shape is wrong. Mind you, it would be nice to get a mould off it.............

The striping arrangement looks simular to one published in a Marina customisation softback book published in Australia around 1972. It features a selection of colour plates and transparent Marina outlines at the back to make ones own design....
Could it be one of the cars in this book?
