Hello Steve, others who specialize in this will weigh in, but I’d say the top wing is the type usually associated with SOE. I’ve not seen examples of the lower/larger wing, but it’s a beauty. I’d venture the opinion that it also has an SOE connection. Looking forward to hearing from other Forum members on this question.

Best regards,
Donovan
