This fella seems to have got as close as anyone is likely to, given the hazy and conflicting memories from those who were there:
Would seem to chime with the fact that ND owned a new Martin 000-28 from around the time of Pink Moon up to his death. Maybe he recorded his records with someone else’s small body Martin and wanted his own?

So weird that still nobody really knows. The M20 deffo belonged to the LP sleeve photographer, his family still has it. Richard Thompson seems to be the only person who remembers ND playing a Guild. String arranger Robert Kirby remembers a D28. For Five Leaves Left I'm inclined towards the Levin Goliath he was pictured with in rooms at Cambridge and back home with his family if only because I once played one with dead nickel strings and it sounded EXACT. Other theories are available.
