This is a photo of the real thing.
An early Saturn V launch had cameras installed in the aft portion of the S2 stage. The above still is from the movie film taken of interstage separation. The film package was jettisoned and recovered via parachute. There were 13 total Saturn V launches, the last one for Skylab having only two propulsive stages. On this launch, derbis from failed Skylab components disabled the 2nd plane separation LSC. This resulted in unplanned retention of the intestage on the S-2, but caused no problem to the Skylab mission.
