MOLAB and other moon rover concepts from the NASA glory days

So, for last few weeks i have been binging NTRS looking for concept moon rovers, especially the pressurised ones related to MOLAB concept and i have realised one thing - while we have decent amount of information on Boeing one:

Or about bendix concepts:

However, i was unable to find any proper plans for the OG northrop MOLAB proposal.
The best i was able to find is simplified isometric sketch and bunch of even simpler schematics related to its mobility:

This is despite the northrop concept being featured pretty prominently on concept art, and having full scale mockup built for training.

So i guess this is the good place to ask - does anyone here knows about existence of proper (or at least proper-ish) 3-way schematics of the northrop wonderful steam boiler ?

Also i guess this will be a good place to share anything and everything related to moon manned surface mobility . I shall be dropping more links and pictures as time allows.

Here's another interesting and, as far as i know, mostly unknown project i stumbled upon . Its supposed to be from Boeing study from early 1990s .

Apparently it can land on surface on its own. ( i'd imagine it was supposed to be deorbited and slowed down by sperarate stage, and the thrusters on its body would only be used in the very last part of landing. )

The picture is taken from "Shielding Strategies for Human Space Exploration":
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19980137598/downloads/19980137598.pdf
Unfortunately, the document is about wholy other subjhect, and the rover only gets a passing mention. The only source given inside the document is
"Brand Norman Griffin: Pressurized Rovers, Essential for Effective Planetary Exploration, AIAA Paper
# 93-4178, AIAA Space Programs and Technologies Conference, September 1993."
And this one is not publicly avaiable as far as i know, so its a dead end for me. Any more infop would of course be appreciated.

So i actually have no idea from which study the picture really comes from or are there any more details about the thing. Only boeing rover from the 90s i knew about before was tcompletely different one - that weird "daytime rover" with sideawys cylinder cabin and wheels on spindly legs .
