Default firehawk or superhawk??

so i found this guy on craigslist n he said he had a firewhawk hood for sale so i went to check it out if was off his white t/a and he had bought the car with the hood on it and didnt know what brand it was. i know its not a oem firehawk hood bc it has the little nose on it where firehawks are cut off to show the emblem and it fits pretty much perfect except the front by the nostrals is a little bit off. so what do you guys think it is?

Gen 1 Superhawk hood, perhaps? If so, super rare.

It looks like the old firehawk knock-off hood Roger used to make. Then he made the more popular super Hawk hood.
