The outer wood cheek fairings extended to the rear of the cockpit. The fabric interior extended to the rear of the cockpit in some cases and in others it extended to the front of the cockpit. This caused an overlap of the fairing over the fabric in these cases. I do not know what serials this was prevalent in but it appears to be true for several Nieu 17 & 21 airframes. I don't know if it was done to the 21 bis, 24, 24 bis or 27.
