Since I have not seen this done before, I decided to colorize the areas affected by doubling. This took some careful study, comparing my coin to normal reverses and applying to a photo of an MS coin. No doubt, this doesn't represent all the doubling present on the coin; it's only what I can detect. The doubling affects 80% of the width of the reverse and 62% of the height.

That's a nice (and useful) image-thanks for posting it! I don't want to get too technical but it's unusual in that it's listed as a Class I (rotated die) but, more like a typical Class IV (offset die) it hubbed up mainly toward the center of the die.
I mentioned in an earlier post about how important die state is, especially as applied to doubled dies. This 1946 Walker is one issue where die state is critical, especially on the motto, and IS taken into account. The coin you show looks to be a fairly early die state.
