In 1969 North American Rockwell filed for a design patent that was granted in 1971.
Design Patent D219,690 shows an Apollo CM attached to an Apollo Lunar Module
descent stage. It's titled "Combined Shelter and Vehicle".

Interesting use of Apollo hardware. I wonder what Grumman thought about
the Rockwell design patent on "their" hardware?

See attached drawings.
