The two are indeed quite similar, and it would be very helpful to see both pieces in person, as opposed to on a flat screen. I will say that I've seen at least half a dozen of these through the years. Some in major auctions/some on eBay.
But every single example has that same "water damage" and glare in the lower-left corner. Very fishy, and makes me question whether some of the purported "originals" are even legit.
