Every eagle of this style I have seen has 7 distinct feathers under the wing's leading edge. (there needs to be black thread between the last feather and the top of the leg)
The secondary feathers directly below the wing next to the body, show no distinct patter or individual separation as well.
I also do not see black stitching around the wreath on these.
It very well could be a early transition piece between the first model and the more standard mess dress.........but for me, it doesn't connect all the dots I need to see.
