Hi Eduardo,
Far from an expert but I also think the eagle was replaced by a nice (but worn one) at some point. When new these birds have a broader wool backing than the one applied here so there would be no reason for the sewing to be so close to the eagle. The eagle was trimmed at one point probably when it was removed form another uniform. If you look at the attached picture of an un-issued bird before it was affixed to a uniform I am pretty sure the outine would be a closer match in size/proportion to that of the "shadow" you have identified on the inside of the jumper assuming it was the same early style bird...
I hope this makes sens
Best regards
JC
