Help discerning authenticity of Schott B-3

Hello everyone,

I've lurked in this forum many times in the past, ever since I started having an interest in leatherwear in earnest, but this is my first time ever posting and making an account.

I make this post to ask for help and pick up the more knowledgeable people about leatherwear in here.

I recently bought a used B-3 leather jacket on E-bay, after seeign good ratings for the seller and his reassurance of the authenticity of this jacket. But after more detailled inspection i've seen things that make me doubt of it's authentic nature.

Particulkarly the panneling of the back (multiple V-shapped panels instead of a big cross-shaped one) of the jacket and little attention to detail in straps and stiching. Besides, if you enter into his account you will see 2 more jackets with the unusual pannel pattern and very similar meassuring despite them being 6 aizes longer.

I will post the link as well as the photos.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
