The wiring bundles bear various identifying wraps; the most informative (to me
at least) is the wrap which contains the missile's serial number. Here we see
that the serial number is "CC-2025", which matches the ID plate on the aft unit (the "CC" indicates
that it was manufactured by Chrysler Corporation
Missile Division; Redstone Arsenal also manufactured some Redstones,
using the "RS" prefix). The warhead
section is apparently from missile CC-2013.
Apparently, after the missile system was decommissioned, there was little
effort made to keep components from individual missiles together as a unit.
The Air Zoo also has a Redstone; its
center
unit and tail unit are
from CC-2007, but its aft unit is
from CC-2031.
