The same picture, not reversed (yours seem to be), and better reproduced. But nothing about who did the drawing.

That's the same drawing I found in a book that mentioned A. Roberts.  But, carnut said it didn't match the person mentioned in his book.   ???

That's the same drawing all right, although I didn't reverse it; I reproduced it exactly as it appears in my book.
I just re-read it and it still says the same as I posted in Reply #5!
So the name of the guy who penned the 5 possible accessories has not yet been mentioned.  It doesn't actually say that he did the design of the base vehicle though; in fact it doesn't mention any other name in connection with this design at all.

..although coincidentally his name has appeared on AP recently as an incorrect guess on another puzzle!

That's the guy (Ted being short for Theodore).
I thought my clue would bring about a result - this puzzle has languished for long enough.
I was really surprised when Tackitt brought up his name only yesterday as a suggestion for the Assymetric in another of my puzzles (since solved - it was by Dave Cummins) without spotting the possibility it might be Pietsch's work on this one!
Well done!

Please note also that an exhibit of his work, featuring some 60 finished renderings, dating from the 1920s to the 70s, will open at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana, on July 15, 2011, and will run for 6 months.
