It is the same as your High C marked Band.
Your C band has the correct color, when shown from the outside pics.
The one sold in the auction needs better pictures. I'm not convinced it's original color, maybe a outside picture would help. I also don't think it is NOS because it shows wear on the barrel pad in pic #4 and the sling swivel has a bit of pitting, seen in pic #3.
Possible the auction band was re-parked and lightly used before being sold. But it is real just like your High C.

I came across this one early this morning and I got a couple more and I was going to see if I could see any similarities and all the differences but I'm having to take care of my Mother who's been very Sick and I'm very Worried and this gives me time to think of something' other than what I have only been thinking of all day and night.

I feel you Frank,
By being able to read Ovidio's topic 'When it really happens: SHTF...' found in the Watering hole. I was able to get some relief while my cousin and his Mother (my last living Aunt) were in the hospital with the Covid. My Aunt was admitted 2 days after my cousin Al went in. She passed away 2 rooms down the hall from him. He was never able to visit her nor any of the family. Our fairly small county has had 29 deaths from it as I type this.
Last couple years have been tough on our family. It helped like you stated by getting on here and trying to get your mind off the weight of worries.

I hope all goes well for your Mother. Make sure she knows how important she is to you and the love you share. I'm telling you this because of what's below:

I contacted a fellow member from here who hadn't been on in a year or better to see how he was doing.
Emailed him something goofy, his reply was heavy. He asked if I tell my Wife that I love her everyday?
He said if I wasn't that the day may come that I would wish I had. In short his Wife of 47 years said good bye and that she loved him as she left to visit her sister for a couple days. He was busy with something in the garage and just said be-careful. He received a phone call a hour later that his Wife had been in a car accident and if he could come ID the body.
He wrote that he'd always remember the last time he told her he loved her because it was 6 days later on their 48th wedding anniversary when she was buried.
I'm not ashamed to say that reading that tore me up.

I've learned that life is so very precious but so very short.

VR,
Charlie

Thank You Charlie for those words l really appreciate them and it looks like you know what it does to anyone especially now that times have changed what it does to someone taking care of a loved one around the clock. When my only sibling (Sister) lost her battle with a long illness 3 years ago it was devastating, then my Father passed a year and 2 weeks later after my Sister we got to visit them in the Hospital until they passed away or were sent home, but now they tell you if you bring in someone and they have to be admitted it will be almost impossible to visit them and that is my biggest fear because I don't want her to be alone. Well this can go on and on but this is not the place to do that but Thank You Charlie It Really means a lot.

IMNTXS, You aren't alone. Many of us have had similar experiences. My wife was sole caregiver for her father and I was sole caregiver for my mother. Both suffered from dementia/alzheimers. It is hard for anyone who has not gone through such a time to understand. But those of us who have stand with you and are more than willing to give you whatever support we can.

That's exactly how I feel especially when your alone doing this is that unless someone else who has gone through this you feel more alone than ever because you keep all your emotions bottled up inside and the emotional pain becomes unbearable unless you can find someone to talk to who has gone through this and gives you some type of advice or support.

Thank You I Really do appreciate your helpful words.
