Robert here is one of my RS PAB's showing the same flaw. This badge sports the angled RS mark.

Just to make sure that we're talking about the same thing. The "rocky" refers to the "wave" underneath the gun. In that respect Robert's badge isn't a good example because everythng seem to "wave" in the cut-out of that badge.
On most badges you realy have to look carefully to even notice the wave. What IMO distinguishes a "Rocky" from any other "Wernstein" design PAB is that no 2 of them are exactly alike. This can only be explained if you are willing to accept extensive handfinish to the cut-out area. Remember its also on these Rocky's that we see those "rectangular" saw marks most obvious in the eagles wingtips, also something Robert's example seem to be missing.

Your correct, should have looked closer but what I ment is that they aren't present in the area where on other examples they are most prominent: the wingtips.
Anyhow, taken in to account that they are there, there can be no doubt that it's an original "rocky". This makes it even more bizare that it features the RS die flaw. As soon as I get home I'll check the badges in my fiels to see if I can find more
