The one without sheetmetal is called the Flip Top Cobra or "Turd". It isn't the most attractive Cobra ever built and it was a prototype if I remember correctly.
The one beside it is CSX3002 that was truly the first 427 Cobra built. It had a 427 Chassis with 289 bodywork that was modified for the Chassis. It has a flat bottom front end nose opening, square oil cooler, front brace roll bar, and 289 dash and gauges. It was at the entry of MCCAN a few years ago. It also had a dry sump oil cooler. It was on the cover of an issue of 1965 Car and Driver with Ken Miles driving it. It is a very cool Cobra with the Le Mans filler cap. I'm not sure why the Flip Top Cobra has the center fill fuel cap.

I'll take a guess at it. . .
For those racing Cobras that had a fuel cell, the gas cap was in the center of the trunk lid. For those with just a regular gas tank, the gas cap was on the passenger side rear fender so the trunk was functional.

 A study conducted earlier this year by the AAA found that when the mercury dips to 20°F and the heater is in use, an electric car’s operating range will drop by an average of 41 percent. That means if you own a Nissan Leaf, that’s otherwise rated to run for 150 miles on a charge, you’d likely only be drive for around 88 miles before having to plug it in. You’ll also find it takes longer to bring the vehicle’s battery pack up to a full charge. Frigid temperatures also limit an electric car’s regenerative braking function, which recovers energy that would otherwise be lost during decelerating or stopping and sends it back to the battery. On top of that, using the heater will drain an electric vehicle’s battery at an accelerated pace. While gasoline engines generate large amounts of heat that can be harvested to warm a car’s interior, an electric car’s climate control system relies solely on battery power to accomplish this function.

Why would Ford want to tarnish the Mustang name with something like that?
