Does it look like the seller took a PSA auction house LOA and simply combined it with an autopen photo rather than the true authenticated version? Like a bait and switch?

A few years ago in a Mastronet auction, I saw a Mercury 7 photo signed by the astronauts that had a PSA/DNA certificate, and it actually pictured the signed photo on it. Problem was, the Shepard was a "spiked P" secretarial.
