Central American Republic 8 reales 1826/5 - is my coin an overdate?

I have never identified this overdate before, but after seeing high resolution photos of one this morning, I inspected a coin I own closely and I think I might also have an overdate.

This coin PCGS graded as 1826/5:

This one is mine:

Mine also has the same reverse die as the overdate example which is easy to identify by a big die crack on both. And here is what the shape of the 5 looks like:

To identify the overdate on both coins I am looking at the angular part coming down from the top to the left, and the rounded part on the right side. So what do you think? Am I seeing things or do I have it right?
