Another benefit of that photograph's early dating is that it helps to derail the "Avanti was supposed to be the Pace Car but wasn't ready so they substituted a Lark" nonsense. 
Obviously, with this documentation and dating, the new, 1962 Lark Daytona Convertible was the intended, chosen Pace Car from the get-go.
