Man, that's a cool looking cap, Chris!
I wish I could say I've seen an image of it somewhere, but I have not. That wishbone "C" looks sure like a Reds example though. I bet it's a prototype or salesman's sample of some type.
For the record, I have a G/U Reds Cap that came directly from Jim Greengrass. The wishbone "C" is embroidered in chenille style, similar to the Phillies Jerseys of the era (with the "loopy" embroidery). It is a vintage New Era example, so the Reds did apparently experiment around a bit.
I would contact Dave Grob. If anyone has an answer, it would probably be Dave. But regardless of what you find out, that is one killer cap!
