On the se pictures of Boudewijn we can se that the front air intake is closed or partly closed. To me it indicates that the cooling efficiency had been sufficient in relating to cool the engine, so it cant be related to engine cooling that Bonnier had to change the front air intake.
"Carini-Sanesi at Le Mans 1953 with #00123", and "Some more pics of #00123". The scudetto is closed for air or semi closed.
On the car "Some more pics of #00125" the right side air intake is semi closed.
If we look at the picture "Bonnier at the Bari GP 1956" the front side intake seems to have been reduced, also seen on Boudewijns Red picture from 27/11, on these pictures the air intake seems to be smaller than on Fangios spider at Merano, and smaller than they where in later edition on the front of Bonniers spider.
So cooling problems must have been related to the cooling of the brakes,
