Post subject:  Hudson "C-Armor" details ?

Curious about this aspect of the C Armor.

This is the armor previously at the "Hollywood Casino", in PA.

And again later, when it went up for auction.

It had appeared to me someone had covered the original Skull art with a seemingly poorly designed decal.
Here it is while on display at "Alien War".
Visible at the base of the knife handle, you will see a piece of the decal is flaking off.

By contrast, here is the same set of armor, from the original Al Matthews birthday, production photo.

A smaller, very different, painted Skull.

Same skull during the Dropship speech:

So it had appeared, sometime after production, a decal was laid over the top.
(perhaps just cut out decal paper, with a written marker drawing on it?)


But I then recently discovered, after watching the "Superior Firepower" video (after many times), this footage:

- There is the decal.

So, sometime between the Birthday photo / Dropship sequence... and the filming of exiting the APC,
that decal was put on, during original production.

Anyone have any info on this?
