1938 D/D Buffalo Nickels - RPM-002?

StrikeOutXXX

Pegging both of these as RPM-002
http://varietyvista.com/03 Buffalo Nickels/1938DRPM002.htm

Wexler has:
1938-D 5¢ WRPM-002 “Best Of” Variety
Description: D/D West
Submitted By: Kevin Flynn
Cross References: CONECA: RPM #2

Which I believe PCGS certifies under coin #520090
http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/coin/detail/520090/66

But NGC has:
1938 D/D BUFFALO FS-502 5C MS
NGC Attribution: FS-502
Cross Reference
CONECA: RPM-002
VarietyPlus: VP-005

Is this FS-502 (NGC is the only one that lists that).

Thinking AUs on these, so likely only about $25 so no slabbing, just wanting to label the 2x2 right

Very nice examples and photos!
1 seems to be of a much later die stage
2 is the same die, made much earlier than 1.
Both have the same obverse reverse die marriage. Excellent thread for examples of progressive die wear.
