sounds like a plan.
if you'd like to make lots of friends onhere...
+ go back to that spot immediately.
+ meticulously measure every little detail of that cab.
+ take lots of hi-res perpendicular pics of the side panels.
+ post your findings here.
thanks!

If you want to see that cab up close, go to Funland in Scheveningen

They tend to move the cabs around. First time I saw it it was free from both sides. I took pictures of the sideart to help me fill in missing details while vectorizing the Galaga sideart. Last time I was there it was left of a concrete pillar and IIRC to the right to another cab. You could see the whole of the right side, but not take pictures of it (IIRC about 10cm clearance).
By now they might have moved it again though. With some bad luck maybe even off the premesis. Everytime I go there it seems like they have less games.

think i'll give them a call or email them first.
best thing would be to trace the panels on a big *ss piece of paper or cardboard but i can imagine they won't like that :)
