NASA photo S66-68976 shows the Gemini spacecraft with the mission emblems and crew signatures.
There is an alternate version that has mission emblems for Gemini 3 and Gemini 4, and different signatures. It also has "Gemini 6" instead of "GTA-6" for the Schirra-Stafford flight. The 1965 flights are on the left, and the 1966 flights are on the right. The Gemini 3 and Gemini 4 emblems are unofficial designs, so is this version an official NASA photo?
The Mercury spacecraft photo with emblems and signatures is seen here. It looks like it is based on spacecraft-only photo S62-04976.

Is there a hi-res version of S66-68976 anywhere?

Haven't seen a high-res version. Haven't seen an Apollo missions version either. So maybe the origin of the photos is spacecraft manufacturer McDonnell.

S66-68976 is on the last page of the NASA FACTS "Gemini Program Summary" pamphlet.
