- But I still asking to me why if the same engraver did both moulds,in the case of this card at Dodal we can not see the crossbeam,which is clearly there at Jean Pierre Payen deck.
-Jean Dodal card is named LE PANDV and the Jean Pierre Payen is named LE PENDV

-Robert think that the engraver cut it just for number the card.
So another question is why the engraver also did not cut the blade of the scythe to name the card.

These seem like related ideas, are you basically asking "If Dodal and Payen were decks created in the same "house" why are there differences in the iconography of the two decks, especially between the Dodal and the Payens?"

This seems a different topic entirely, and one that I have already answered with my point of view more than once, so I assume you are looking for other responses. Although, it might have been better in its own topic.
