Body/Trim: 140: - Aluminum Trunk Lids

I posted this enquiry on the TurboBricks forum some time ago and it went off in the typical direction of a lot of answers to a question I didn't ask, so I will try here. While checking for gasket information to address my water in the trunk problem, I found this reference to an aluminum trunk lid that appears to have been used on some 1978 240s.

The pre 1979 240 trunk lid is the same as the 140 trunk lid with the possible exception of metric fasteners. This would make for a nice weight reduction on a 140 if you could find one of these trunk lids. However, that presumes that they actually exist. Has anybody actually seen one of these aluminum trunk lids? If so, do you know what years (aside from the above 1978 listing) they came on and which models might have received them?

Thanks
