Thoughts please!

I think the Lotus driven at Estoril in 1985 had a JPS logo underneath the roll hoop (where the back of the driver helmet would have rested).

As far as I can see from all the bits and pieces I have, that decal is not part of those which have been supplied.

What have others done? Use one of the front wing endplate spare ones, or just left it blank?

Maybe it was just that race.
All the other pics from that season show no logo there.

If you zoom in and squint, you can just about see it above his hand in this image Getty image from practice

Also the Motor Sport May 2025 cover story has the actual car on the front, with said logo.

I also have a Japanese reference mag, where Chassis 1 (rather than this, which I think was 2) has it on...but Chassis 1 just has "John Player" on the front of the rear wing - flippin' variants!!!
