Wait for some of the others to comment AS but thinking it's more like PMD sorry but I could be wrong.

And there's something funny going on under his chin.

Gee, I dunno.  There may be a little bit of Blakesely effect on the Obv over the EO.  Doesn't look like a traditional clip, but the damage may have been there before the planchet was struck.  IMO the jury's still out on this one. :scratch_one-s_head:
