There are two mandolins on the cover of the Waterboys' album Fisherman's Blues. One is pretty obviously a Flatiron pancake (maybe a 2M?), but the other one is harder to identify, as it has f-holes but they don't look like the f-holes on the Flatiron pancake model I can find a photo of (though everything else, including the 'sunburst' finish, looks like a Flatiron). Is it a Flatiron or is it something else? (You will probably need to find a better image of the album cover, this is the best I can do right now)
Here is the only photo I can find of the f-hole flat top.
Did they maybe make some with more traditionally shaped f-holes?
