I have #2 but no duplicates currently. I didn't know it was used in PCH but the cover is another one in the Tilburne style and is a direct swipe of a Harry Clarke painting (Tilburne was always swiping from what I can tell)

I posted both on my instagram before. When you take a break I’ll post both if anyone’s interested
