Can you date this picture at Porsche werks?

Wow. So, basically, where are we, Porsche racing department? And if so, what were these stock 911s doing there?

Great to see all these knowledge here ... thanks guys!

First 2 cars are '68 with 1 year only side reflectors. It is a Werks photo overalls have the "Porsche" logo on them.

And note the SWB vent window on the red car.

A few other observations of those 'stock' 911s . . .
The red one in the foreground is the only one with 'S' deco trim.
The blue one has both under bumper and over bumper accessory lights. And do I see auxiliary oil line plumbing in the wheel well?
The background yellow and red ones do not have sunroofs. Non-standard side-marker light on front fender (why?) of the red one.
The yellow one is the only one with sugar scoop headlight bezels. Hodge-podge of SWB and LWB features. Definitely a '69 (red) interior.
My speculation; a racing department workshop doing special (busy) work between major racing projects. I would date it to Spring 1968.

And what seems to be the 908/02 from Le Mans 1969 in the far left corner...

This place blows my mind.

I'm curious about the in-house machine shop.

Could it be the case boring machine machine for the 917 engines?
The chains seems to be here only to hold a counterwheight to adjust the spindle height...

Hi, I've recently got this original period (late 60s ?) picture of Porsche werks which I have digitalised and I hope you will find it interesting ... can you help me in precisely dating it?

Have a nice day.

The most exiting detail in the foto is the bottle of beer, behind the vice of the working space with the blue 911
