Rich, not sure if you'll be able to tell beyond a doubt without finding some additional "later in life" signatures. I myself have not seen any, especially signed Leon. With that said, the Goslin part of the signature does show some similarities with earlier ones, not exactly but enough to possibly consider his age at the time for the inconsistencies. From what I understand, he had to have a ghost signer later in life so I'm not sure how many signatures like this (that would show his age) you'll be able to find. Possibly on legal documents, etc.
Good luck and I hope you find that it's authentic.
