Different Obverse Hub used on 1968 Lincolns - am I crazy?

Take a look at the top 68-P, the next 68-P and then this 68-d and tell me that the top 68-P does not use a different Obverse Hub? Maybe I am crazy, maybe its an optical illusion but they really look like different hubs. Look at the hair curl on the forehead, where the jaw line comes into the ear, its like the 68-P is taller and thinner.

If someone who has good skills with these overlays can PM me I can send the high res tru-view links. Also an SMS 67 photo may be of help.

    They look different to me, but it could just be the strike and the shadowing and coloring of the coins?

    Wasn't 1968 the last year for the high relief master hub?
