Appreciate your eyes Beau - yeah, it's an enigma, and I remember now that you mentioned it to probably be "RG" Some of us thought that "RB" could be Robert Bonfils, since he did a ton of commercial art in the late 1940's before getting into sleaze, and the women's fingers look just like his women, but the "RG" is clearer on the other books like "Hungry Eyes" so that got shot down.
