I can't explain the difference. The Valk has not been tweaked. The only think I can come up with as a possibility is a mis-marked and mis-stamped Viking.
That would explain the beefier nose. The mark for a Valk is supposed to be VL and the mark for a Viking is supposed to be VK. We used to use VK for Valkyries but had to change when we introduced the Viking.

By far, the most important part of any shot is what is happening in the last split second as the disc is pulling itself from your grip. Focus there. It's the key.
