1946-D Roosevelt doubling identification

Anyone know what variety this is? These are the only two doubled features, the two small leaves on the left side of the torch. Didn't recognize it in the CPG. Ran across this one while on another mission. Coin is heavily toned and pictures were tough - I tried every lighting in the book.

    No offense intended...but are you sure that's not mechanical doubling?

    Sorry folks, here are the color versions - like I said - heavily toned...like camouflage toned... In conjunction with an LED ring light, I had a lone LED less than 1cm away blasting it from the side just to get these.

    I did indeed check CONECA beforer posting, but didn't find anything that matched. There is NO doubling on on any letters at all on the reverse. I have, however, seen doubling on the leaves on some other issues which are previously recorded and photographs for comparison are available. To me, it doesn't appear to have that clear-cut, sharp, shelf, look of mechanical doubling.

    It's not a huge deal to me, just curious if any dime guys had seen this before. The lower smal leaf is the most pronounced when viewing in hand.
