I would have to agree, it doesn't look quite right (you can never tell from only looking at pictures of course) but I would guess it is the original, just heavily sanded and the plate fitted out of alignment??

Some careful reworking to the woodwork would make a huge improvement and have her shipshape again.

Sorry to sound negative eaglelord, but its all fixable with a bit of enjoyable work and you get to put your own stamp on her too
