Sorry, but I can't help you: I had never saved pics of what I viewed as obvious forgery.
But you might be right: it might have been an honest but semi-competent restoration with no intent to deceive. We will never know: there is no way we can read thoughts, be it those of an unnamed restorer, admiral Angria's or a Sikh "immortal" hurling his chakra at the enemy.
We can be reasonably sure that our dogs respect us, but the cats? Never.
