It looks like the original cpb0193 probably had the correct image. Then Marek
submitted a new photo of the head years later to the entry and the former catalog
admins didn't notice it was a different head when they accepted it. This
overwrote the original image and started the whole fiasco. Years later, someone
noticed in 2018 that the image of cpb0193 did not match the image of bpb0193,
so the cpb0193 was renumbered to a different number (cpb1933). Finally, someone
eventually added the original cpb0193 back into the catalog with the correct
image. Basically, the whole thing could have been avoided if the original cpb0193
image had not been overwritten.

Anyways, I have added a new entry for the modern head to get this cleared up:

Have at it, buddy.
