Look again at that reeding mark in the field above Stars 1 & 2, y'all. And also the darker speck between A and T in STATES, which @jgrinz pointed...
I'm learning hard towards one of them, but as of this typing, my vote is showing in the "neutral" category. For now.
An old friend is offering me these. He needs to pay some bills. I'm inclined to help him out some. Click the pictures to go to the cert pages....
I was about to say that too, but the triple-dot reeding marks in the field just above and between Stars 1 & 2 indicate that it is indeed the same...
