1960D RPM

Definitely a 1960D RPM (my first) but which variety?

Closest matching appears to be [1960D-1MM-027] but the die scratch marker for the 'Y' doesn't line up w/ the marker for 027.  There is what looks to be a die break beginning on the cornice and what looks to be a small tail showing on the 'U' in 'PLURIBUS'.  The differences in the later two could be explained in that my coin is EDS and the reference @ CC is MDS, but die state wouldn't explain the misalignment with the 'Y' marker.

Note the NE running die scratch from the inside of the Y.
In 027, the scratch begins from the outside of the Y.
Potentially the beginnings of a die break on cornice.
Perhaps a baby tail running SE out of 'U'
