Looking for info on who made these early/late version bodies of the Sears Allstate Special.

Likely Shark for the one on the right, but we have not seen one with an original tag yet.

The one at left??? It may or may not be a Thompson car as it is quite imprecise, and could also be Penske's Zerex-Cooper before it gained its rear fenders.

The front bodywork of the yellow one looks very similar to the Zerex Special, but the sidepods look very flatsided and different in comparision, and the upswing in front of the rear tyres are very similar to the Thompson car. I've only seen photos of the full-bodied Zerex Special though.
