Could be the aurora borealis but I don't have the software to do an overlay. I have a 1946 with it at the back of George's head. Mine also has an island line inside the ear.
I have a very similar example to the OP, but on a 1950 dollar. (I call it "George has a headache."). There are other less distinct die clashes on both the obverse and reverse.
