I know that we have both longed for more on this topic, thank you for sharing.

Perhaps those diagrams would be closer to reality if the aft roof and rear window had a diffuser on it similar to a rear underbelly diffuser just upside down.

There are images of drag racers and salt flat racers (VW-Beetle) with such fins on them.

I'm just projecting/predicting air rolls off sideways at a diagonal angle because of the compound curves.
