Keep in mind that the Finnish Buzzards _were_ RAF machines, granted 
surplus ones, but still... Definitively _not_ export models. Sold 
cheaply by the Aircraft Disposal Company to the FAF after the Great War.

If there are any discrepances they may be due to development during the 
production, or less likely, modifications made in Finland or mistakes 
when restoring that particular example for the museum.

Having seen many times over the effect of wide angle lense when compared 
to more narrow angle, I wouldn't be overtly astonished if this is the 
case here, too.

FWIW,
