I wish I could find the web site that explains it all, I think the signatures identify it. 1954 J. R. Beattie and L. Rasminsky is Modified

Signatures don't always identify it. Coyne-Towers appears only on devil's face.The other signature found on devil's face,Beattie-Coyne,can also be found on modified portraits. You need to be able to identify them by the pics posted by CanadianBanknotes.Pore over those listed on ebay and you should be able to learn to identify them rather quickly.

I've also liked the big sideways # 5 that's in her hair style,...just above her forehead. That's the way an Elvis impersonator would comb their hair....

DEVLEC...Not only her hair is different, but if you look at the "V" of her dress and then look at her necklace, the necklace is too much to the right side of her neck...Does not line up with the "V" of her dress...

We'd have to compare other notes to see if there are any other gown positions.
I'm thinking that her gown did not have the V centered but was styled with the V of that gown towards the left side.
Hard to get the perfect perspective seeing as Elizabeth's head is turned quite a bit to the left and towards the artist.
