I'm pretty sure that what you have is machine doubling. It could be die deterioration doubling, but before I rule it out, I would need to see an...
The CPG does not list every known variety. If it did, each issue would have 10+ volumes instead of 2.
I don't have a phone/camera, but others here have suggested placing the phone on a can of soup or something similar to eliminate "camera shake"....
