1806 Half Cent Variety question!

Looking through a group of type coins that came through yesterday I noticed what may be a possible error in the redbook regarding the 1806 Half cent. On page 81 of the 2005 edition, its shows a picture of the 1806 Small 6, but it looks like the large 6 variety IMO with the 6 running into the bust. It appears that they may have the photo's mixed up in this edition? older editions show it the other way?
can anyone confirm this

I was witness to a sale yesterday regarding one where the dealer sold what I believe to be a large 6 as the small 6 stems to someone. I would like to inform him as this dealer is known to be a slime ball!
