Notice the top drawing the aircraft is marked "YB-17", which dates it later than the photos since the "B-17" designation didn't come about until after the 299 had crashed.
The cut-away reminds me of the drawings of "Battleships of the air" proposals which were popular at the time, exemplified by the XB-15, 19 and a number of large flying boats (like the one which would eventually become the Martin JRM Mars) though the Flying Fortress lacks the bunks and wardroom usually seen on those.
