With regard to the Cameron I have this strike and had considered it correct. St Andrew has a distinctive look, like he's been on the sauce for a couple of years - very bloated, heavy lidded eyes and a nose that's exploded. Not a pretty sight! I feel though that I've seen this particular strike on period photos, but I cannot recall where and of course that could have been entirely wishful thinking and interpretation on my part.
CB could be quite right that it is dodgy, I'm just proffering another angle as I hadn't considered it so.
