Thunderball Artwork Sources

While catalogueing my photos I've noticed several ones that look like Robert McGinnis used them for his "Thunderball" artwork. Connery's head comes from the publicity photo-shoot for "From Russia With Love", the legs from a photo with Connery reading, Claudine Auger appears to be a composite of several publicity shots. Same goes for Martine Beswicke and Molly Peters.
