The image that I found from Battle of the Nations also has the unusual "Soselian Ear-Spoon" listed. If "Soselian" is a term unique to the MUD, it would follow that the MUD has the earlier (though not necessarily original) image. It is strange that the version on the MUD seems to be a lower quality, like it was copied from a copy, but would seem to be an earlier usage. The OP may want to reach out to both parties and see if anyone there can shed light on this.
