Photos of rear bedroom with gaucho in ‘75 Sovereign?

We recently acquired a ‘75 Sovereign with L front lounge, center bath, and a curbside pullout double in the rear bedroom. I’ve searched for photos of this model in the archives and airforum threads but came up empty. I’d appreciate any photos or resources that show what the original street side cabinets look like. The service manual shows a seat and dressers—unfortunately, ours are at best damaged and perhaps are not correct. One photo shows the storage area below the gaucho, the second shows the cabinets we have. Click image for larger version

Circling back with an update on this rear bedroom model...we first removed the furniture and laminate flooring to see the subfloor’s condition. We then replaced a PO’s earlier floor repair, inspected and treated the exposed frame, and installed a section of plywood after sealing the edges. We fixed the leak in the back bumper and painted the floor. Next we began to work on the furniture. We added 6 inch aluminum spacers near the curbside wall of the trailer so the bed would pull out to 54 inches wide (instead of 48”). We cleaned all the gaucho, dresser, and seat components and began to piece them together. The service manual helped us with the street side dressers and seat, as we never found photos of this floor plan in the archives. The attached pictures show our progress to date. We recovered the existing cushions with Solarium fabric.
