Is this headstock right?

It looks OK to me, but to be sure,check the back of the headstock to make sure it has the "wings" on either side. But there is another issue here that might make me pass this axe. Look at the top of the truss rod cover. The plastic eyelet is snapped off. Looks like it was overtightened till it broke. Makes me wonder what damage he did to the truss rod?! Only a heavy handed shoemaker would be that careless.

My two 80's SG Standards (although not '62 re-issue.) Left is 1985 and right 1986.

The '62 Re usually sports the open b & o logo, but I've seen a few with a closed b & o style logo. If the serial # is 8xxx7xxx and there's the spacer plate between the neck pup and the fingerboard end, I wouldn't worry.
