Cessna C.325, photo?

Here’s a question, what is a Cessna 325, looks as though maybe only one was made, N1175D, any photos of it?:)

According to the excellent book Wings of Cessna by Edward H. Phillips…
The 325 was a strengthened Model 305/O-1 Bird Dog designed for aerial application work.
It had stronger landing gear, larger wheels and brakes, a larger 230PH engine and constant speed prop (sounds like Cessna 180 parts).

It looks like a O-1 with the rear windows faired over and spray bars underthe wing. Four were built…the prototype ended up in Panama.
