Thank you Robert!
It would be good to see more photos. They are not exactly common in publications.

I contemplated on if the emblem paint could have been abrased by wear and details lost, alternatively not fully completed. The bird wings seem to have been painted with the help of a stencil, but the details and body/head might have been added by free hand painting?
The painted area where the body and head should be still looks out of proportions to me.....

Still, if there is a good photo of the "eagle" in mint condition it would be nice to see........
