This probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but in the Hunnicutt "Firepower" book, there are overhead and side view sectional drawings of the M51. (The overhead one pretty much just shows the internal arrangement, but the side view shows the outline of the boom). There are several photographs, of course, but no other drawings of it.

And, if you haven't already seen it, there are also a lot of great close-up photographs of the M51 in the new M103 Heavy Tank book by Ampersand.
