That's just heavy jpeg compression. These images came from a screen grab
of a PDF product sheet. Then they were cropped and re-saved. At this
point
you are looking at a xerox of a xerox.
If there is anything that makes me suspicious, it the slightly clumsy
line
of the top plate. With the advance lever missing it looks a little
out of
balance and I would think that Leica would tweak things a little to
improve it.
