1936-D San Diego Commemorative - QDO, but does it have the RPM (or strike/ shift doubling) as well?

I was taking a closer look at some of my 7070 collection and was trying to determine whether my 1936-D San Diego Commemorative has the RPM to go along with the QDO. It may be just mechanical doubling/strike doubling, especially since the NGC image (https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-varieties/commemorative-coin-die-varieties/1936-d-d-san-diego-50c-fs-501-4423/) has the RPM to the North of the original Mint Mark, whereas this one appears to go South of the original Mint Mark.
What do you think?
QDO Pick-Up-Point: Lower portion of LIBERTY
RPM Pick-Up-Point: Mint Mark

Yes to machine doubling on the mint mark.
Thanks, Capt H.

I agree with machine doubling.... Cheers, RickO
I have the same QDO on my '36-D San Diego. Interested in all of your opinions on the D over D on the reverse... if you can tell from the pictures that this is the case. Looking on the PCGS website (http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/145013)... I see different D over D's in those provided pictures...
Here is my coin:
Obverse:
Reverse in its entirety:

Looks like machine doubling on mintmark of both coins pictured in this thread.
Due to the 'tilt' of the upper D, I am tempted to call it a D/D....could be the picture.... Cheers, RickO
Close-up pics were taken through a microscope. Something going on inside the more pronounced D. Thanks for the thoughts. Very much appreciated everyone!

I've seen sedulous' coin in hand; in fact he shot it using our microscope. It almost looks like a smaller D sitting atop a larger D, plus there is a noticeable shift inside the MM at left. Frankly I'd tend to go along with the machine/ejection doubling theory were it not for the interior shift. Also I saw no evidence of machine doubling in adjacent areas of the design. Interesting piece, and a nice one at that. Any other input appreciated.
