Ha! I'm not the plaque-making type unless I know what I'm plaquing about. Whether whoever made the REA plaque did or did not is complete conjecture, as you point out. Mine does appear to be of the exact same construction as the other one, though, so I'm not sure why you might think it a prototype as opposed to another example of the same generation of its kind, perhaps the first but who knows?
