While I'm no expert, it surely does not look like a match for a 1944D WDDO-008. To me it is closer to the 1944 D WDDO-028. Closer but I don't think it's a match because this variety is also an RPM that is listed in the Wexler RPM Files as 1944-D 1¢ WRPM-020, a D/D Tilted (Rotated)."
From what I can see, yours is neither one.
Like I mentioned above, I'm no expert but I'm sure one will chime in soon.

I don't see a match for your coin on any of the usual sites though Wexler does not have photos for all his listings.
One thing to remember, if you have a mintmarked Lincoln Cent that is pre 1991 , the mintmark position can be used to identify the obverse die

Was a typo on the DDO-008. It looks pretty close to a DDO-012

I agree it's not #8, because of Mint mark placement. I can't seem to find this listed any where.

I mentioned mintmark position for this reason. Your coin does not match 012

Did you note the 'TY' on LIBERTY? That was not included with your images.

Correct, the mint mark location is not correct for 008:

Only that there are no photos of your particular die if it is one of Wexlers non-illustrated listings or it could be an unlisted variety. Nothing wrong with that.

It is a doubled die. So it is a keeper.

@Coop, should'nt the OP send this coin in to get attributed? Or, like mentioned above, it is or may be attributed already and it's one that is non-illustrated?

Depends on the condition of the coin. If it was BU, then it would be a great. If it was damaged, then it might not be worth effort. So depending on condition.

I have a different opinion. If it's unlisted, I would send it in to John Wexler regardless of the coins condition. Your choice though.
