Yes because it’s a cast copy of a fake.

They are the SAME. The central line runs all the way through the fake too. Clearly the fake it was cast from was either filed/rubbed on the scorpions body or the cast was so poor it’s lost the relief of the lines. You can even see bumps on the head of the cast where the eyes would be.
