Can Anyone ID this Vader Mold?

Bought this a couple of years ago from a guy in Germany and have never pulled one yet but would like to know the origin of the mask. Here are some pics. All help is greatly appreciated. It looks like an ANH model to me; but who's











 
Are there anymore defining features? Can't really make out if it has dome tabs or anything.

You wouldn't happen to have pictures of any casts this has produced?
 
At first glance it looks like a GH or Fyberdyne style mask...I might be able to guess who you got it from...
 
Here is how one can tell better....invert the image and horizontally flip it...the nose and eyebrow corners give it away...

Doesn't have the caved in left mouth wall, nor the teeth angling the wrong way and many of the other defining features associated with one of these masks - could be from a reworked cast!?

From my pov, it's of a more accurate styled mask.

And SL, you forgot to mirror the picture.
 
Well yes it could be a copy but the nose is like a GH/Fyberdyne and the tooth gaps also indicate that...and the chin vent is lop-sided in relation to the base of the mouth triangle...and the angle of the cheeks is also consistent with it being related in some way. Note also the flattened eyebrow curvature of Vader's right eyebrow...there's some similarity there.

SL, it simply doesn't have any of the defining features of the Jeff style helmets. The minor similarities can come from simple warping.
 
Interesting mould, there doesn't seem to be any nose slots :confused

I'm looking forward to seeing it cast though. Did you get the helmet too?

Cheers,

Unfortunatly not:unsure I got the fiberglass bolt together section; Yes I was dissapointed but i got the whole thing for a great price and chose not to persue it:unsure

Hopefully I can squeeze this in next week; I Have several Helmet projects already scheduled for the week:)
