Though I can't figure out what it is.

Interesting pairing - ESB/ROTJ faceplate (chin vent) with an ANH dome.

Swell. That looks very much like a VP faceplate with a recast efx dome. They've modded the chin to RotJ of course and added the tabs to the top of the faceplate.

The seller's screen name is familiar too. Maybe someone can place it?

Thought the same as i have seen it.
The worms on the cheek are clear to see, same way as it is shown on the VP casts.

I think the dome is recast from a Darth Ugly ANH.

I didn't think this was a recast of an EFX dome, unless they did some serious modding to the widows peak. On both EFX domes, the widows peak is very soft and undefined. This particular cast has a very defined and sharp y-crease in the widows peak.

Ya know, Mac, I think you may have hit the nail on the head. GH for sure.
