    They gave it a nose job since the original restoration. That's an all new body, not the original. I think the latest update looks much more accurate.

    Most probably the recreation of the body was commissioned to Luciano Basso. The Italian owner, Count Zanon di Valgiurata, was a customer of his. Basso was well know in the Turin area as a fine sheet metal worker, but he isn't so accurate in the design.
